When I arrived, there were already people lined up along the edge, quietly focused on searching for a glowing line that moved like a worm. Parents had brought their children, making it an all ages event. The sight was captivating as the fireworms swarmed near the surface of the water for a few seconds before diving back in. It is said that these creatures rise from the seabed during specific moon phases to spawn at the surface, creating an unforgettable display.

The construction over by Orlena Ave is a big bummer, as it prevents us from completing the trail loop. We just walk from Appian Way up the lagoon crossway, north on the path until we hit 6th St., then turn around. From there, one could take a left on 6th St., then a right on Federation Drive to extend the walk, but it's still not a loop. Regardless, it is a nice area and the view of the water along the path is a peaceful sight. The sandy beach of the lagoon has always been populated with lively children and teens in the water when we've gone, so that spot in particular is not so peaceful. Also, if you're taking your dog, we've seen a man twice with three huge, off-leash dogs on the corner of 6th St. and Monrovia Ave that take over that whole grassy area, so beware of that. Otherwise, there's sometimes a group doing yoga there.

    This is an outdoor pool located at the McGaugh Elementary School in Seal Beach. It is an "L"…read moreshaped pool. It is a very small 25 yard pool with six lanes. The person who told me about the pool told me that there are some very serious swimmers that use this pool. When I came here the other day at lunchtime, each lane had 3 or 4 swimmers in each lane. The swimmers here all knew each other and seemed to have good swim etiquette. Every lane had fast swimmers in it. They would've given me a serious workout if I had swam here. Swimming here is difficult. It is a cashless pool. I was told by the lifeguard that she could not accept my money here. In order to swim here, you must go to Community Services department of the Seal Beach city hall to obtain a card. They have swim passes of 16, 34 and unlimited swims, or if you are like me and don't want a swim pass, you could load up your card with a couple of dollars at a time. The lifeguard told me that a single swim is $3. Even though I had my swim workout earlier in the day, I was hoping that the lifeguard would allow me to try it out. But no luck. They have various hours that they are open for lap swimming. Monday through Friday from 5:30am to 7am, 11am to 1pm, and again from 6:30pm to 8pm. On weekends they are open from 8am to 12 noon. The pool looked older and a little beat up. I didn't see the locker rooms. I don't like pools that are crowded. But, this would be a great place to swim because of the serious swimmers here. I'm willing to pay, I don't like jumping through hoops for a pool that I would hardly ever use.

    I went to the 3 day Jazz Festival. The first day we had a Cabana and I was also a guest. I knew we…read moregot 2 bottles of wine, but our server was new and didn't know what the guest with Green Bands were allowed (We were told 2 drinks, no buffet) then told the drinks were 2 sodas and allowed to eat at the buffet. I bought a frozen margarita and had to wait forever for a straw. I did have a good time. Day 2, I had front row (VIP). The lot wasn't full but I was not allowed to park there. No Handicap parking and I had to pay $10 across the street. I paid, parked and was asked for my parking ticket. I told the guy I wasn't given one. I gave the guy a $20, he gave me two 5's and waved me in like the car ahead of me. Yep, the parking guy was pocketing cash. Made me feel like a crook. Too far for me to walk back with the guy who asked for my ticket. I already had to walk a ways to get in the venue with my injured ankle. The show was awesome and I met happy people and took jaw dropping pictures and got to talk to my entertainer friends. The food was not great. My beef was horribly dry. I ran off to buy a dinner plate from the Venders. Day 3, I had to park at the Pike. This was a long walk in the hot sun. Security dropped my water bottles on the filthy ground. I'm in pain and drenched with sweat. The stage manager saw me and grabbed my bags and told them I was ok and wouldn't bring anything in because I'd be taken care of once I got in. And that I didn't need to smuggle anything in. Well by then they had already had my belongings in disarray and contaminated my ice cold water bottles on the ground. The volunteers did not know exactly where my seat was I moved three times. But again I had a great time. A long walk to my car and had to pay $21 for parking. I will be back next year. I'll start saving up now. I highly recommend the events here.

    The interpretive signs around the lagoon tells you that it is a haven for wildlife. There is half a…read moretruth to what they say. But that means that there is also a big fat half-lie too. There is very little natural habitat here. The upland areas are mostly covered with lawns and non-native palm trees. It's a very urban park here, and there isn't to support wildlife here. In the last century, most of this area was open ocean. The semi-circular Rainbow Pier was created in the 1920s, along with the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium. Soon after, the City began filling in the open water behind the pier. With the decline of Long Beach's downtown in the 1970s and 1980s, the City undertook aggressive revitalization plans, which included massive filling of the area behind the pier, to create the modern-day landscape. Thus, Rainbow Lagoon is the vestige of the sheltered cove that was once protected by Rainbow Pier. The park is much more welcoming for human inhabitants than wildlife. There is a beautiful winding path that take you over colorful bridges, and paddle boats to take you over the water. It is a lovely park, just not wondeful for wildlife, notwithstanding this semi-informative interpretive signs. Oceanic water fills Rainbow Lagoon via underground pipes and culverts. This keeps a marine, but wave-free environmnent. In some ways, this is similar to natural lagoons (such as Malibu Lagoon) where waves are cut off by natural sand bars, which come and go with the seasons. In a natural state, this still water would be conducive the establishment of salt marsh plants, like cordgrasses. However, there are none to be found here. In contrast to a natural lagoon, Rainbow Lagoon is paved with concrete and in general has a very hard "edge" which prevents the establishment of plants. As you can see in the picture above, there is no gradual shift from deep to shallow water; these gradients normally create a variety of depths, which are essential to a diverse fish community with species of different sizes. The far edge in the photograph is rocky, which adds a little diversity. But the hard substrate again does not allow plants to establish. No doubt the plant-free environment is an intentional component of the park management, as such plants could create nuissances in such an urban environment. The blunted tidal inputs creates other problems for the lagoon: lack of oxygen. Wave energy and fresh inputs of ocean water would normally keep the oxygen levels high. Making matters worse, the concrete lining makes the water heat up in the sun, further depleting oxygen. To prevent oxygen levels from getting too low (which would result in massive fish-kills), water is agitated and circulated by fountains. These fountains also improve the aesthetics of the park. And despite my griping, you can see some interesting birds hunt the little fish in the lagoon. I saw a Green Heron here the other day, and these shy birds aren't so easy to spot sometimes!

    Do not run with this company. We had a terrible experience…read moreand would not recommend this event to anyone. At the water station, the person staffing it was smoking the entire time, dressed in all black, and wearing what appeared to be a ski mask. Watching someone smoke and then handle water cups by placing their thumbs inside the cups was extremely unsanitary and unacceptable at a race, especially one advertised as family-friendly. There was very little course communication or direction, and when questions were asked, staff were dismissive and rude rather than helpful. The race is advertised as "timed," but what we observed was someone manually writing down times on a clipboard. That is not what we consider professional race timing, and it felt misleading based on how the event is marketed. Overall, this event was poorly organized, unclean, and unprofessional. It did not feel safe, family-friendly, or worth the money. We regret participating and will not be returning.

I was also disappointed at the low turnout but overall it was fun to run on by the beach.
