LBC Beach Guide
It’s arguable that no California city with a beach to call its own, presents as many iterations of that beach as Long Beach. Yes, though its name would suggest one, continual, uninterrupted shoreline, the fact is that Long Beach beaches are a diverse collection of environments and vibes, attracting people looking for very distinct experiences, i.e. the reason you go to Mother’s Beach is something different than why you head to Bayshore or Rosie’s. Here’s a quick rundown of where to go and what to expect once you get there.

Long Beach has been on the leading edge of the craft brew scene for some time, so it’s not surprising that you can find great brewpubs all over the city.

Dogs’ Day Out
Dogs. They’re loyal, loving, a true joy to be around. They comfort us when we’re down and are the first to sense, and celebrate, our happiness. Do we deserve them? Probably not. But we can show them how much we love and appreciate them in so many ways around Long Beach. At parks and with menus made especially for them, on walks or shopping sprees, you can let any day go to the dogs, and that’s as good as it gets.
