What to Wear in Long Beach in April

Light layers are essential for the marine influence: a denim jacket or linen blazer over a sundress or casual top handles the cool coastal mornings, while afternoons warm comfortably for the Long Beach waterfront promenade. The beach-casual SoCal nautical aesthetic that defines Long Beach's style is perfectly suited to April's mild conditions.
