A Little About Long Beach California

Enjoy a cool ocean breeze with nearly 345 days of sunshine every year. Summer temperatures range in the comfortable range of 70-80 degrees F, and winter temperatures are quite enjoyable at 55-65 degrees F, making Long Beach the ultimate year-round vacation destination.  You can expect the summer to be the most crowded with tourists visiting many of the local and nearby attractions, enjoying the beach, and "star watching".  The fall becomes a little less crowded with a slight change in the temperature but not the activity.  The fall in Long Beach is a peak time for events, including the annual Lobster Festival.  Spring brings more of the same and is the perfect time for a romantic stroll on the beach.  Whatever the time of year, the city of Long Beach, California is beautiful!
