Long Beach occupies a broad coastal plain bordered by low coastal bluffs and nearby foothills that rise into the region’s mountain ranges, producing a sharp transition from urban shoreline to steep canyons and arroyo gorges. Within 50 miles, waterfall hikes tend toward moderate canyon scrambles and steep ravine routes with one short, easy roadside cascade; trails pass through coastal sage and chaparral, riparian corridors and occasional oak stands, offering accessible, varied terrain and sweeping ocean and mountain views.
