Getting Here

As the second busiest airport in the USA, it’s easy to think navigating to the Sea View Inn from LAX will be hard; think again. Located just 5 miles away and seemingly an ocean apart from the bustle of the airport, you get here without ever hopping on a freeway. Whew!

Taking an Uber or Lyft is easy and affordable, costing about $20.00. But, here’s the Secret Scoop#1: YOU MUST MEET AT THE LAX-it(pronounced LA Exit) station; it’s a bright lime green designated spot just a walk or shuttle away from baggage claim.

Super Secret #2: Your Uber/Lyft app will not work until you make your way to the LAX-it station. Once there, your app works, and you can call up your ride. Cars are lined up with clearly defined sections (example B21), so you know LAXactly where to meet your driver.

Located just a mere 20 miles away, the airport is situated smack dab between Los Angeles and Orange Counties. Acting as more of a regional airport with only 4 airlines servicing the hub, it’s easy to navigate. Long Beach puts on full display its glorious sunshine with outdoor cafes and waiting areas. BONUS TIP: no shuttle required to pick up a rental car or call a ride-sharing app.

As the only commercial airport in Orange County, it services more than 3 million people across 34 California cities. It’s approximately 44 miles away and requires a trip across the 405 freeway – the most congested freeway in the United States. WARNING: Budget at least a 2-hour window to get to the airport and return a car.
