LONG BEACH people, PLEASE come in!

We're thinking of rather than taking a vacation, to just spend a few days in long beach. Therefore, can I pick your brains?

Can you recommend places to eat? All types of food and doesn't matter if it's lunch or dinner.

Can you recommend beaches to go to? Like, go to this beach between these streets, or something like that?

Also, if you are not a resident, what are the fees and parking issues to go to those beaches? Rules to follow? Since we're not staying at a hotel ,we won't have access that way.

Thank you so much for your help! We can't do a real vacation this year, but we're excited about this alternative.

I live in the West End of Long Beach, and would recommend going there.

The great thing about the westend is everything is in walking distance. You can park your car within a block of the beach and still be only a block from all the great restaurants.

And the best part of the West End is that the beaches do not get as crowded as they do by the boardwalk.

but if you like to be near the boardwalk it is only a 5 minute or so walk east.

I live in oceanside, but we're always in long beach! There is a strip on park ave (right off long beach rd) that has Nagahama (our favorite sushi place) and Cold Stone for ice cream! We're there once a week. Chat Icon
