Might need a stop somewhere between Los Angeles and San Diego

Check out Seal Beach.  Cool little walkable town.  Very old school Socal beach town.  There is a little hotel called the Pacific Inn.  Stayed there dozens of times, free breakfast, no frills but very clean, nice staff, and you can walk to the pier, little town , bars, shops.

Good parking at the Inn, and from there you can get to Belmont Shores or 2nd st in Long Beach or go South to Huntington. 

 

Seal Beach may not be far enough south for what you are looking for.

I would drive Ocean Blvd east of downtown Long Beach and take that to the 1 in Seal Beach.  There are some really cool old houses that face the beach on Ocean.
 

This is what we today. Worked beautifully. That is a gorgeous run down from Seal Beach thru Huntington Beach, Newport, Laguna Beach and ending in Dana Point. We stopped in Oceanside and checked out the Top Gun house. We are in Del Mar tonight.

The Greek Theater is an amazing venue and CAAMP was excellent as per usual. This trip is off to a great start.

Oh, and wife had two corneal transplants a couple of years back so I'd rather not have her drive for too long in the dead of night on a stretch of road neither of us is familiar with.

Yeah that might be... interesting...

If you get a chance, go to the gliderport.  There's a good sandwich shop there, and it's fun to watch the gliders. 

Did you eat at the top gun house?  I haven't been there since they opened and WTF is a fried pie?  Like at McDonalds?

and where are you staying in Del Mar?

Nah, we just took pictures at the house and left. It’s just fried pies and some sweets. Meh.
