Hydrobike Rentals on Alamitos Bay: Pedal at Your Own Pace

Pedal across Alamitos Bay at dawn, dusk, or under glow lights

Rent a hydrobike on Alamitos Bay in Long Beach and pedal through calm, protected waters at your own pace for 55 minutes. Choose a daytime ride for waterfront mansion views, a sunset crossing, or a glow-lit evening. Each bike includes a lifejacket, two cupholders, and a small storage cubby. Children ages 4–9 can ride as passengers with one adult, as long as combined weight stays under 250 lbs.

The experience

Alamitos Bay's calm, protected waters make it an ideal place to pedal without fighting currents or waves. You control the pace entirely: speed up to explore the shoreline around Outer Naples Island or slow down to take in the waterfront mansions and moored boats. The hydrobike itself is stable and low-effort to ride, which means the focus stays on the water and the views rather than on balance or technique.

The choice of ride time shapes the whole experience. A daytime rental gives you bright coastal light and clear sightlines across the bay. Sunset rides trade that for golden skies and a quieter water surface. LED-lit night rides turn the bay into something entirely different: the glow reflecting off the water and the city lights in the distance. All three run year-round, so you can pick the one that fits your mood and the rest of your Long Beach day.

Each bike comes equipped with two cupholders, a small cubby for keys or a phone, and a lifejacket. If you're bringing kids, children ages 4–9 can ride as passengers with one adult, provided the combined weight stays under 250 lbs. The whole outing is built to be relaxed and accessible, whether you're riding solo, with family, or as part of a group.
