Long Beach attractions and Travel Tips

Car Rental in Long Beach

Great weather, interesting attractions, and close proximity to the bright lights of L.A. all combine to make Long Beach one of California's top vacation spots. Don't make the mistake of staying here and spending all your time exploring Los Angeles, as Long Beach has plenty to offer on its own. Take advantage of the freedom offered by cheap car rental in Long Beach, and spend your vacation exploring the area. From spas to theme parks, this is one corner of SoCal that has enough to keep the entire family happy.

What can I see in Long Beach?

The legendary Queen Mary ocean liner is now permanently docked in Long Beach, where it is a floating hotel. Even if you don't stay here, it's worth driving down in your Long Beach car rental and taking one of the tours or enjoying a gourmet meal. The ship is said to be haunted by a number of eccentric ghosts, and many tours and exhibits focus on its spooky past. Check in advance, as there are non-scary ghost tours suitable for kids, or full-on adults-only spookfests.

You'll find the Aquarium of the Pacific close to the Queen Mary, making it easy to get to in your rental car in Long Beach. All kinds of sea life from the world's largest ocean can be seen here, including the California sea lions, sharks, and rays. Children will find this fun, and the enchanting sea creatures are sure to bring a smile to adults' faces, too.

What would a trip to California be without visiting Disneyland? Walt Disney's dream park is in neighboring Anaheim, 25 minutes away when you use your car hire from Long Beach. Leave early if you want to beat the crowds and check online to see what kinds of fast passes and special tickets are available during your visit.

Museums in Long Beach

Long Beach is a city with a large Latino community. Fittingly, it's home to the United States' only Museum of Latin American Art, a tribute to works by artists from across the continent. If you like art, this is definitely worth a trip in your Long Beach car hire. The Sculpture Garden is particularly interesting and features a stage that plays host to a variety of cultural events. 

Where will I find the best beaches?

When you pick up your cheap car rentals at Long Beach Airport LGB, you may only have one thing on your mind: hitting the waves! If your California vacation is just an excuse to get to the ocean, then head straight for Bolsa Chica State Beach. This slice of paradise has plenty to keep you entertained once you get there with your car rental from Long Beach. Surfers love the waves here, while anglers also take advantage of the plentiful waters. Even if you're not much of a beach bum, you can take your cheap car hire in Long Beach to the neighboring Bolsa Chica Ecological Reserve. This protected coastal estuary provides a haven for numerous species of birds.

Getting around Long Beach

Wherever you travel, cheap car rentals in the United States offer you unparalleled freedom. The best way to explore the greater Los Angeles area is with rental cars from Long Beach. There's nothing worse than having to rely on sporadic public transportation, so take control of your vacation and rent a car in Long Beach.

Can I take a road trip from Long Beach?

Of course. Car rentals in Long Beach can be your starting point for exploring all of California. To the south, San Diego is about 110 miles away, along a route that hugs the Pacific coast. A road trip heading north will require more time. San Francisco, for example, is over 400 miles from Long Beach. If you'd rather go inland and see a different side of California, it's just under 250 miles to Fresno. There you'll find cheap car rentals at Fresno Airport FAT.
