These Long Beach Airbnb Rentals Put You Near the Beach and Art Walk

Epic Stays
by Hannah D. Cooper Aug 1, 2024

Home to top art museums and the century-old Queen Mary ocean liner, Long Beach is a vastly underrated vacation spot. Stretching from the West Coast’s busiest port to the canals of Naples, all neighborhoods benefit from a waterside setting and a high walkability score. As for that near-endless beach, LBC’s sandy shoreline and breakwater offer the safest swimming in Southern California. Disneyland and Knott’s Berry are just 30 minutes away, bypassing the Los Angeles traffic. Soak up the SoCal sunshine and art scene at these Long Beach Airbnbs.
