What is the driving time from Los Angeles to Long Beach on a sunday afternoon?
I'll be traveling by car to Long Beach from LA on a sunday afternoon (sometime between 12-2pm) and am wondering how much time it will take me to get there. Does anyone know also how much time will it take me to get from Long Beach to San Diego with sunday traffic? Please advise.

Answer 1 :
From Long Beach to L.A. there are a couple of different routes to take depending upon where in L.A. you want to end up. I'm going to assume you are taking the 710 north. It will take you about an hour, give or take 15 minutes. From Long Beach to San Diego is approximately 2 hours. It's hard to tell for sure because the heaviness of traffic is unpredictable based on accidents, checkpoints, etc., but you can definitely count on there being traffic! Check out www.mapquest.com for definite routes and approximate travel times.
Answer 2 :
From LA to Long Beach, it all depends on where you start. I live in Pasadena, near the LA City line, and it never takes me more than 45 minutes. Parts of LA are 10 minutes away from Long Beach, and other parts an hour -- the City of LA is so big! For that matter, so is Long Beach! So in the end, it actually generates another question, which is: from which part of LA to which part of Long Beach?
Answer 3 :
Just a suggestion, consider taking the Metro Rail between Long Beach & Downtown LA. The travel time via rail is only 40 minutes and the fare only $1.25 each way or $5.00 for a system wide all day pass. This way you won't have to worry about traffic, parking or gas costs. As for Long Beach to San Diego, a inexpensive transit option for a ride with really nice sceenary would be to take the OCTA Coast Highway bus #1 (Fare only $1.25) which travels between Cal-State Long Beach at Pacific Coast Highway & 7th Street all the way down the beautiful PCH through Orange county to the San Diego County line at San Clemente where an easy connection to Metrolink then Coaster commuter rail is available for the continuation into San Diego. Good Luck!
Answer 4 :
If no accidents...less than a hour. San Diego is less than 2 hrs.
Answer 5 :
Yuck... Sunday traffic going south... good luck. Several factors to consider.. are you going alone or with other people? There are carpool lanes now along the 405 that will help cut down your time, only if there are no accidents. That leads me to factor number two ...accidents. If there are ANY... you're looking at an extra hour or more depending on how bad. Facctor number three... good weather. If it's a warm day, add another half hour to an hour... traffic related to people trying to get to beach communities. Can't say for sure but if you're driving from West LA, anywhere between 40 minutes to 2 hours drive to Long Beach. From the Valley... just fly to San Diego from Burbank. You'll get there quicker!
Answer 6 :
It has taken me anywhere from 45 minutes to 2.5 hours to get from LB to LA with weekend traffic. I went to San Diego from Long Beach Saturday morning and it took over 2 hours because of traffic. My usual highway speed is 80-85 mph so I am not a slow driver, but if there is traffic your drive time will take awhile.

My friend has a job offer in San Diego and he is traveling from Long Beach. His only way is through public transportation (bus, train....). He has not had any luck finding a way to get there. Any chance you can help? And hopefully it will not be too pricey. Thanx.

Answer 1 :
Depends where in Long Beach. One possibility would be OCTA bus 60, then OCTA bus 50, and then Amtrak train all the way to San Diego. Go to mta.net and fill it out. Put in "Irvine Amtrak" instead of San Diego, since this trip planner doesn't go all the way to SD. But of course he doesn't have to get off at Irvine, he can keep going.

Answer 1 :
It really all depends on what you want to do. For example, when I go to LA, it's mainly because I used to visit my uncle and when I did, my uncle would ALWAYS take us to theme parks. So our only business in Buena Park and Santa Clarita was just for theme parks.
Answer 2 :
roll up a chronic blunt and blaze away the so cal way
Answer 3 :
i would say none of those. I've never been there but i think manhattan beach, hermosa beach, bel air, malibu, places like that are the nicest. if you go to manhattan its a really nice small area in los angeles where if you go to the beach there, there is a pier where you can watch people fish and at the end of the pier there is a place like an aquarium where you can see different kinds of fish. its a small place but its gorgeous. those are my favourite places in los angeles and if you go to hermosa beach there is a big strip where theres ALL KINDS of stores. it was really cool. in bel air we even went to this plaza where they had pet shops, a grocery store, clothing shops, etc., and all the stars went there. it was a really nice experience so if you go to los angeles in my opinion you should go not just to one place because its nice to explore around there.

There are literally hundreds of things to do here in LA. Here is my list of “must sees”. Visit as many as you have time for.: Disneyland: The Happiest Place on Earth. Half a billion visitors can’t be wrong. #1 Destination. Universal Studios: A theme park that grew out of a studio tour. #2 Destination. Even if you don’t visit Disneyland or Universal Studios Tour, Downtown Disney District and Universal City Walk are very fun places to visit for shopping and eating. And they’re free to visit. If you’re adventurous, try the indoor skydiving (www.iflyhollywood.com). It’s a blast! Hollywood: Enjoy the Walk of Fame, Entertainment Museum, Chinese Theatre and more. The Hollywood & Highland complex has lots of shops and restaurants, and the Kodak Theater. The El Capitan theater, right across the street, is where Disney shows their movies. And the Hollywood Bowl is a GREAT place to listen to concerts outdoors. Other theme parks include Knott’s Berry Farm and Six Flags Magic Mountain, which are both more geared towards the fast-ride teen crowd. Olvera Street/Union Station: Olvera Street is the birthplace of LA, and it emphasizes our Mexican heritage. In addition to the Avila Adobe (oldest building in LA), you can eat at some pretty good Mexican Restaurants, do a little shopping, and taste a churro. If you don’t want to go to Tijuana, this is as close as it gets without going there Rodeo Drive, 90210: Packed with exclusive shops, full of gawkers. They all came to enjoy the excess. Free, unless you intend to buy something. Venice Beach: Here you'll find Muscle Beach, street performers and tacky shops galore. Fun, VERY interesting, but I avoid it after dark, when it gets a little TOO interesting for my taste. Santa Monica: Beach and Pier: Great beach scene and a classic seaside amusement park, complete with antique carousel that has been in a lot of TV and movies. After visiting the pier, you can ride a bike south a couple miles to Venice Beach. Sunset Boulevard began as a route between the stars' posh neighborhoods and the Hollywood studios. It runs from downtown to the ocean, passing through the "Sunset Strip" on its way. Farmers Market and The Grove - A new shopping complex right next to a Los Angeles landmark, It is right next to CBS, so walk across the lot to see if they are taping "The Price is Right". Griffith Park - Home of the Los Angeles Zoo, Griffith Park Observatory, Travel Town, the Greek Theatre, and Gene Autry Museum of Western Heritage. Getty Museum - The Getty's architecture is so beautiful that it keeps me fascinated. No matter whether you like their art, architecture, or view better, the Getty is sure to please. Free. Attend a TV taping - You can get free tickets at audiencesunlimited.com, tvtix.com, or see the booth at Universal City walk. It's very interesting to see a show being taped. The most popular, by far, is the Tonight show. Places to eat: In-N-Out Burger: Multiple locations, best burger in LA, ask anyone. Pink’s Hot Dogs: 709 N. La Brea, just north of Melrose. You might even see a celebrity. Maybe. Tommy’s Chili Burgers: Look for the shack, an LA tradition. The original location is at Beverly & Rampart, a couple miles west of downtown. Canter’s Deli: 419 N. Fairfax, between Beverly & Melrose. Near CBS, you might spot a celebrity. Phillippe’s: 1001 N. Alameda. Great roast beef sandwiches. Near Union Station and Olvera Street. Tito’s Taco’s: Voted best tacos in LA, even though it’s in Culver City. King Taco is a good alternate if you can deal with East LA. The Pantry: Corner of Figueroa and 9th, downtown. Huge portions, they never close, GREAT steak and eggs. Medieval Times and/or Pirate’s Dinner Adventure: Dinner and an adventure show, both are on Beach Blvd in Buena Park, you get to eat with your hands. Places to Stay: Since LA is so spread out, there is no single place that is close to EVERYTHING. Most people who come here tend to stay in Hollywood, Santa Monica, or Anaheim. In Hollywood, I recommend the Orchid Suites, Hollywood Celebrity Hotel, or Hollywood Heights (formerly Holiday Inn Walk of Fame), all near Hollywood and Highland. In Santa Monica, the Holiday Inn Santa Monica is close to the pier and reasonably priced. In Anaheim, I recommend the Howard Johnson (HoJo) Anaheim, and the Candy Cane Inn. There is also a nice place in Burbank called the Best Western Media Center, very close to Warner, NBC, and Universal Studios. Places to Shop: Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica The Grove, Los Angeles Americana @ Brand, Glendale Beverly Center, Los Angeles Citadel Outlets, Commerce Brea Mall, Brea The Block at Orange, Orange South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa Fashion Island, Newport Beach Santee Alley, Los Angeles
