About Long Beach, California

Only 30 miles away from Los Angeles, Long Beach has managed to stay out of the popular city’s shadow and build a fun and entertainment-filled reputation for itself. The downtown waterfront district is the perfect place to experience the city’s inherent vibe since it has a number of attractions, like the Rainbow Harbor and the Aquarium of the Pacific.

Sure enough, the most popular thing to do in the city is to visit its many beaches, including Rosie’s Dog Beach and the Junipero Cherry Beach, which is perfect for everything from sunbathing and swimming to simply enjoying the views.

Meanwhile, Bluff Park is a perfectly manicured green space within walking distance of the beach that overlooks the ocean. All in all, Long Beach is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or a surprise proposal.
