Hotel Maya has debuted a rather unique addition to the Long Beach hospitality scene: the largest man-made beach in Long Beach with its 6,500-square-feet Playa at the Maya.

The resort-style, urban beach is centered on the property’s 14 lush acres that are dotted with 500 palm trees and features 285 tons of real sand, two 4-feet diameter fire pits, colorful umbrellas, comfortable chaise lounges and a cozy day bed.

Hotel Maya is located at 700 Queensway Drive. For additional information or to make room reservations, please call 562-435-7676, visit www.hotelmayalongbeach.com.
