GREAT ESCAPE
(Queen's Wharf, Long Beach)
From the intersection of the 405 and 710 freeways, take the 710 south. About three miles down, the freeway splits. Follow the RIGHT side that says "Queen Mary." You want the very first exit (it comes up pretty quickly) which is marked "Pico/Berths B - E." Take this exit and you'll come up and around (almost a full 360º) a long, looping exit ramp. At the bottom of the ramp, turn right and you'll be on Pico. About 200 yards ahead on your right, you'll see Queen's Wharf. Pull in and unload between the two big buildings. After you've taken your gear down to the boat, move your car back into the large parking area that you passed on your way in.
