AIRPORT SUGGESTIONS (LGB) Long Beach Airport - (15 minutes from property) (LAX) Los Angeles Inter. Airport (35 minutes from property) (SNA) Orange County Airport is (30 minutes from property) Timewise, LGB is much easier getting 'in and out' of than LAX as it's much smaller and very close to our cottage. SNA (also known as John Wayne Airport) is also a smaller airport and located in Orange County. Timeframes can vary depending on the time of day and current traffic conditions. *********** IMPORTANT NOTES FROM OWNER *********** 'Belmont Shore' is a very unique area and is the most desired destination in Long Beach due to the surrounding shoreline that 'hugs' three sides of this charming community. ********** BOOK WITHIN THE BOUNDARIES OF BELMONT SHORE*********** EAST LIVINGSTON DR. -- BAY SHORE AVE. -- EAST APPIAN WAY -- EAST OCEAN BLVD.
