From Disneyland and Hollywood to Surf City (aka Huntington Beach), you can find adventures of every size and shape if you simply head out along the shoreline or into the hills.
Book the perfect carDisneyland
While the Happiest Place on Earth may call for more than a day trip, you can’t ignore the fact that Disneyland and California Adventure are only about a half-hour drive from Long Beach. The best part? After a day of crowds and lines, you can return to your peaceful Long Beach home away from home.
Hollywood
After Disneyland, California’s most iconic site may be Hollywood, and this classic tourist destination is only about a 40-minute drive from Long Beach. Explore the Hollywood Walk of Fame, TCL Chinese Theatre, and glitzy Hollywood Boulevard as you stroll around the city of stars.
Huntington Beach
There’s a reason nearby Huntington Beach is nicknamed Surf City. With some of the best waves in Southern California, it’s also home to the International Surfing Museum, which details the history of surfing, and the laid-back Huntington Beach Pier. In other words, it’s a surfer’s paradise.

Best Long Beach driving roads
Hilltop Park
With 360 views of Long Beach, the summit of Hilltop Park is the perfect location to snap photos, enjoy a spectacular picnic, or hike in the fresh mountain air. And the drive to the top is equally delightful, with great views all the way up.
North 73
Some of the toll roads around Long Beach offer the best views in the area. Fuel up with a tank of gas, and after you pass the toll plaza on North 73, you can enjoy views of dreamy Santa Catalina Island, Long Beach’s bright downtown waterfront, and more scenic sights all the way to Anaheim.
Vincent Thomas Bridge
Connecting Long Beach and San Pedro, this classic suspension bridge may be a bit narrow, but its panoramic city views more than make up for its compact size. Part of the Seaside Freeway, it also offers stunning views of Los Angeles Harbor.
