Emy’s guidebook
Sightseeing
If you like sunset walks, I recommend walking down Alamitos toward the beach, cross Ocean Ave where you’ll hit a set of stairs that leads you down to the beach parking lot. There is a pedestrian and a bike path that if you walk to the right it’ll take you to Shoreline Village with lots of shops/restaurants, or you can just walk along the beach.
