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! Erik |

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. |
