Is Long Beach safe for solo female travelers?

Long Beach, like any major urban area in the United States, has both safe and not-so-safe areas. Downtown area and tourist attractions are generally safe with a good police presence. However, it may not feel as safe at night, especially in deserted areas. Therefore, as a solo female traveler, it's advisable to take general precautions, such as not walking alone at night in unfamiliar areas or displaying expensive items. Inform a friend or family about your plans. Use public transportation or licensed taxi services where possible. To be safe, always be aware of your surroundings.

How safe is Long Beach for solo female travelers?

Solo travel

It was terrible and wonderful. Poor and too wealthy. Sad and happy. I would recommend getting the most expensive hotel because every other place has roaches. I wouldn't spend much time out at night. Get used to hearing fireworks cuz they set them off all night long

Hey! I’ve always been a solo traveler and I love connecting with locals from the place I’m visiting. I lived in Japan for 8 years and the rest in The US. Love good food, good companionship, spontaneity, and humor. I hope we can chat and meet up in the near future. :)

About me

Hello! I’m a Midwest girl who’s now living in southern CA. Love the ability to be outside year round here, the great outdoors is my happy place. Hiking, biking, boating, beach bumming, skiiing, snowshoeing, kayaking, sporting events; to name a few activities I enjoy. Museums or other cool cultural options too. Food, wine, coffee/tea; yes please. Would luv to meet up with someone when traveling solo or be a buddy for anyone traveling solo to the LA county area. Please let me know if there’s anything I can do to help make your travels any easier, it’s an interesting world out there.
