Before we get to the first Long Beach California restaurant, I want to tell you that the oceanfront destinations do have a couple downsides when it comes to restaurants for the tourists. One of them is just funny.
The first is that you have to watch out for tourist prices, traffic and just being in that crowd when you don't want to be. Locals don't always want to be in the middle of the hooplah.
The funny point though was to watch out for duplicates and I don't mean chain restaurants. I mean I'm up to my eyeballs in pancake houses over here folks in Myrtle Beacch.
