LONG BEACH


​Dear Friends, 

Seriously, I had no idea how much I would love Long Beach until I visited. The crew and I visit to shoot an episode of Beyond Your Backyard and had a fantastic time in the sun! I toured the Queen Mary, ate delicious Mexican food and learned how to drive a duffy boat! My advice? Plan your trip immediately and have a phenom. time!

LONG BEACH, CALIFORNIA - A LITTLE LIGHT READING

 
FAST FACTS
State: California
Time Zone: Pacific
Currency: US Dollar
Primary Language: English
 
TRANSPORTATION
​​Air: I flew into Long Beach Airport and rented a car. Downtown Los Angeles is about a 24 minutes drive from Long Beach.  

Car: Long Beach is walkable, but I suggest renting a car to get to the the beaches and other attractions in the region. 

Cruise: Long Beach Cruise Terminal - 231 Windsor Way, Long Beach, California 90802
 
THE WEATHER
With nearly 345 days of sunshine every year, Long Beach is the ideal respite for Snow Birds looking to escape the winter chill. In fact, the only cold we normally experience is a cool ocean breeze that caresses our shoreline!  High temperatures in the summer range from 70 to 80 degrees with winter highs at a comfortable range between 67 to 73 degrees making Long Beach the ultimate year-round destination.
