Where it sits
Long Beach sits at the southern edge of Los Angeles County — part of the metropolitan region, and a major urban center in its own right.
The Metro A Line links Downtown Long Beach directly to Downtown Los Angeles. To the west, the twin ports; to the east, Orange County; to the south, the Pacific.
