I lived in Huntington Beach and Newport Beach(South of Long Beach.) I am familiar with Long Beach and I got to say that there are some nice areas and some not so nice areas. If you are going to be by the beach, then you are one lucky girl. Traffic can be bad, but not terrible. Depends on your commute. The weather is fantastic and there are tons of places to explore. The restaurants are great, and you will never be bored.
I say go ahead girl. You can always mive back if you don't like it. I live in the bay area now, I miss Southern California and the beach lifestyle a lot. I would move back in a heartbeat.
