Access to Sailing

Directions to ATS Dock

From the 405 fwy, take the 710 fwy towards Long Beach (south). The freeway ends after a couple miles. Follow the signs to Aquarium of the Pacific, NOT the Queen Mary. The Aquarium is the LEFT branch. Stay in the MIDDLE of this branch as it turns into Shoreline Drive. (Do not take the Downtown exit, which is on the left side.)

Continue on Shoreline Drive past the Aquarium to Shoreline Village Drive. Turn right, then take the first right into the parking lot. Once inside the parking lot, immediately turn right and drive to the end (East side of the Yardhouse Restaurant.) Walk (or roll if you’re in a wheelchair) around the Yardhouse and you’ll see a gate leading to a ramp. Just pull and the gate will open.

If you are walking, take this ramp down to the dock and continue west a short distance till you see a big two-masted sailboat named Varsouviana on the left.

If you are in a wheelchair, or need assistance from ATS, please send your assistant down this ramp to let us know you have arrived. We will direct you to a ramp on the west side that is not nearly as steep. You can see this wheelchair-friendly ramp at the bottom of the closeup map, on the left side of the photo.
