I live part time in Long Beach.

The property, though is not beach front, nor does it has ocean view, is just a short drive from some of the best beaches in the west, which are great for surfing, snorkeling, SCUBA diving.

Last year we helped eight buyers acquire exceptional coastal STR's in; Brookings, Gold Beach, Bandon, Manzanita, Arch Cape and Yachats, with two in 2025 under contract in Seaside and Rockaway Beach.

Quote from @Jules Aton: Sofa struggles for me right now. 1-bd beach condo so not large family traffic. 

It's a small Motel at the beach no clam or accidents.

Not all beaches are created equal.  

With regard to the proximity to the beach, I tend to have a beach distance of 15 min or 5 mile rule, whichever is less. 

I will stay down in the Pacific Beach/Mission Beach area when we visit San Diego.

I am mainly in the West Palm Beach area.
