The on-site job interview is next Friday so I won't know for sure if I'm moving down to Long Beach until then. I am keeping my fingers crossed.
w. ocean blvd. you area already at the beach. there is a nice beach path found, that will take you about 2 and a half miles down. when i make it down to the beach and have to travel down or up the coast, i usually ride down to the beach path and use that. nothing but people, pets and bikes on there. beautiful to ride near sunset as well.
long beach is an awesome place to live. bars on 2nd street, 4th street. get drunk, walk down to the beach at night
it has its shadey areas, but all major cities have them.
