You can't visit California without at least a walk on the beach! We recommend a sunset walk, a morning run, or a bike ride along the shore.
Great pizza in Long Beach -- almost as good as NYC.
Good beer, good vibes! Lots of space for a big group and an outside area with food trucks.
Fun Long Beach bar with tropical drinks! The ube colada is very sweet and very delicious.
Not in Long Beach, but this is a fun and free place to people watch and enjoy the sunshine. Also, there's an In-N-Out a couple minutes away, which is an added bonus.
If you're spending any time in LA proper and in the mood for some art, check out LACMA!
