Less than half an hour from Anaheim, Mothers Beach is another top coastal location for people in need of some fun in the sun. It's part of the Long Beach area, which features a couple of different beaches to explore, but Mothers Beach is actually situated in a little sheltered cove with very warm, gentle waters and a lot of useful amenities. This is a really family-friendly beach, with picnic tables, play areas, volleyball courts, and other useful features to provide a full day of activities for people of all ages.
Kayaking and stand-up paddleboarding can be enjoyed here, with classes and guided tours being held on a regular basis. Concession stands are found here too and the waters are totally peaceful, just right for swimming. One thing to note about Mothers Beach, however, is that this is a very popular spot and can quickly get busy on weekends or special occasions, so it pays to get here early and claim your spot before the crowds build up.
