Located along the Pacific Ocean in Southern California, the city of Long Beach has a much milder climate than the extremes found in the Golden State. This is born out by the differences between the all-time hottest and coldest temperatures ever recorded in Long Beach, compared to the all-time hottest and coldest temperatures recorded in California.
The difference between the all-time hottest and coldest temperatures ever recorded in Long Beach is 86 degrees. The difference between the all-time hottest and coldest temperatures ever recorded in the state of California is 179 degrees; a huge difference of 93 degrees.

I've been to Long Beach many times, and it is a great place to visit. You can't beat the weather most times, and along with the beaches there are some cool sites to see.
In 1987, I went to the Super Bowl at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, and my friends and I spent the week prior to the game in Southern California. We went to Long Beach one day and saw the Spruce Goose and the Queen Mary.
The Spruce Goose is no longer in Long Beach, but the Queen Mary is still there and well worth a visit. Also worth a visit is the Aquarium of the Pacific, and the Walter Pyramid (Long Beach Pyramid) on the Cal State Long Beach campus is a cool site to see.
