Long Beach Port Tour Long Beach is home to the second busiest container seaport in the U.S. with an annual trade valued at more than $180 billion. Furniture is one of the top imports that flow through this 3,200-acre gateway. It’s likely some (if not most) of your inventory has been here. Join us as the Long Beach Port staff hosts a 90-minute boat tour of the port. (Space is limited; RSVP required.)
