The Neighborhood is called Alamitos Beach, just a half-mile to the sand and adjacent to a fantastic area called Fourth Street / Retro Row. The Los Angels Times said, "Long Beach is a city defined by its neighborhoods, and one of the coolest in the area around Fourth Steet and Cherry Avenue dubbed Retro Row. Anchored by the gloriously redone Art Theater, you'll find everything from junk stores to places selling $8,000 Hans Wegner chairs." The area is truly one of the most unique pockets of Long Beach. There are nearly 100 independently owned and operated stores that offer goods, foods, and experiences you won't find anywhere else. Google 4thstreetlongbeach for more info. An 8 min walk will bring you to Bixby Park which has a free work-out equipment course and a farmers market every Tuesday 3-8 and Saturday 9-2. You can walk 5 more minutes past Bixby park to attend one of the daily free Yoga classes on the bluff overlooking the ocean between 11-12. In the summer you can enjoy free movies on the beach at Rosies Dog Beach. June through August Alfredos Beach Club offer free movies on the beach, and Naples has romantic gondola rides, stand up paddleboards, boat rentals, kayaks and more. Downtown and Belmont shore offer even more fabulous shops, restaurants, Aquarium of the Pacific, the Queen Mary, and more. Getting around to other pockets of Long Beach is easy with many options to get around. You can easily walk, ride bikes, rent scooters, bus, Uber/Lift, or drive. There is so much to do within a minimal area that you could easily have a very fulfilled vacation without ever having to drive anywhere. I could go on and on but can't list it all here. I suggest you Google Long's Beach's calendar of events. Enjoy!
