Best View<\/strong>
Signal Hill<\/h3>\n

Signal Hill rises nearly 400 feet out of the flatlands of Long Beach, making it the most prominent land mass this side of the Palos Verdes Peninsula. Though many of the prime viewing spots are occupied by gated-community homes and slowly pumping oil wells, perfectly placed parks around the perimeter of the hilltop provide vistas for both Signal Hill and Long Beach residents alike. At Discovery Well Park and along the Panorama Promenade, one can get a different perspective on southern Los Angeles; and at Hilltop Park (drive up\u2014literally, the road goes straight up\u2014Skyline Dr. from Cherry) and Sunset View Park, the views of Downtown Long Beach, the Port and the Pacific Ocean are unrivaled in grandiosity. Head up after a storm or on a crisp, cold day to get a view unlike anything else in the harbor area.<\/p>\n
