Long Beach, CA is one of my favorite underrated cities. Blacks are more than welcomed. It’s so diverse. You can hit 2nd street to eat or party all day and night. You can hit downtown to shop and enjoy some tourist attractions. You can go to the marina to rent a boat or dine on the water.
There is always something going on. Try going during Grand Prix and it will be a blast! Long Beach is a city where you can easily live like a local and a tourist. It’s so much history and culture there you will never get board. You will feel love and freedom from almost everyone. It’s a perfect 20-30 minutes drive to LA and Orange County. It’s really one of those cities where you can have it all and feel safe and accepted as a black person. You can find everything here:
Family activities
Nightlife
Shopping and good local shopping
Healthy living
Adventure like water sports
Not far from hiking in mountains
Beach time
Relaxation
Events
EVERYTHING!
Skip LA and head to Long Beach! I Can write a whole travel guide on Long Beach.
