Belmont Shore Beach

metered parking.
large dog area.

I love this beach, and here is why. Every single time I come here for a bike ride on the path or a walk on the walking path I come into a new adventure. Just the fact they have a bike path makes me spoiled. We can choose to walk on sand or a paved road for miles, and walking for miles is easy to do. There are CLEAN bathrooms all along the route and plenty to see. There is a huge parking lot, but if you get there early enough you can often find some hidden street parking. I was lucky and staying on the road so I could just walk down to the beach. It’s not overly crowded and the stretch is huge for people to spread out. Also if you are a beach volleyball fan, there are nets set up for anyone to come out and play.

Construction complete little remains. 100% improvement bike path and separate walking path. The beach not too crowded and its awesome jogging at night… occasional skinny dipping after a good workout. Its quiet simply hearing the sound of silence and ocean. Paddle boarding in the harbor and early morning bike ride completes the experience. Be aware young lovebirds at night give them privacy we were young once.
Grab your speedos and jog at night its peaceful refreshing and awesome.
Stay healthy my friends

This is one of my go to places whenever I need some alone time or if I come with friends or the significant other. The 4 star rating is not for the ocean, which is not the cleanest, considering it is by the Long Beach harbor. It is for the ambience and overall environment.
This beach has bike and walk paths. They have a few restrooms that are apparently locked in the evening hours! You will find many exercising, jogging whether it be alone or with their dogs or kids. There are a few places to choose from where you can eat during your visit. I have found trash littered along the shoreline, which means that you got all pretty stupid careless people out there.
Overall, I have had good times coming here. During the summer, their volleyball courts often are the spot for tournaments that they are hosting. Other than that, come in your comfy gear and enjoy the fresh oceanic breeze that us So Cal natives often take for granted!!!

Always relaxing, always filled with people enjoying a relaxing time at the beach. Lovely…, quite lovely.

i want to stay longer… i wish you were here with me… my dog and i jogged just a little but even tho warm water and perfect weather there is a lotb of floating trash.

Since I live in Belmont Shore, I go to this beach a lot. And when I say a lot, I mean about 5 – 7 times a week. I love it so much. I seldom go in the water, but I love running and biking here, especially with the new pedestrian path. The months of construction for the pedestrian path was initially pretty annoying but now that it is all done, I think it was all worth it. People here are pretty courteous and abide to the biking/​pedestrian rules, which is always a plus. Exercising along this path is so relaxing and scenic. I love it. I was born and raised in Northern California and am now living in Long Beach. I like many things more about NorCal than SoCal, but this beach is what made me fall in love with Southern California.
This beach is for the locals, which I absolutely love. It’s not touristy at all. Even on July 4^th weekend, it didn’t get crazy crowded at all. I think parking is about $ 12 a day, but I don’t know for sure since I always walk here. There are occasionally events and races here, so it’s always fun to come out and see what is going on.
Also, the Belmont Shore Beach is a very short walk away from 2^nd Street, so access to some great food, coffee, and drinks is very convenient. Nothing beats a morning run at the beach, brunch on 2^nd Street, tanning at the beach, and then happy hour in the afternoon. I know, that beach life is awfully rough!

One of the best beaches in southern California. Great for walks and sit and enjoy the ocean breeze. It’s quieter not as crowded as other beaches along the coast. If you live in the area, it’s about 5 – 10 minutes walk here depending where you live. Minutes from 2^nd Street which is right around the corner.
Loving the area and the neighborhood here!

GOT BLOWN BY THE WIND AND SWEPT BY THE WAVES!
BACKGROUND:
Livingston Drive and 2^nd Street form the heart of Belmont Shore, from approximately Bluff Park on the west to Alamitos Bay and Naples Island on the east. The eastern border on Alamitos Bay Beach is an inland beach that faces Naples Island across a channel. 2^nd Street and the fifteen intersecting side streets make up the business district of Belmont Shore. The neighborhood features Spanish-​style homes from the 1920s and 1930s, older houses remodeled and expanded into contemporary styles, numerous large contemporary houses, and sections of multifamily apartment buildings
EXPERIENCE:
While roaming the streets and eating in various establishments, it was time for a little foot massage and this beach was just what the digits ordered. Belmont Shore is not a typical beach, there is sand like any other, however, there really isn’t much of space to lounge, build sandcastles, play volleyball or Frisbee. It’s more of barefoot strollin’ beach where your feet can get a nice little massage as they sink into the sand. With a short shoreline and minimal waves, BSB is great to just take a leisure walk and if you time it just right, you might just catch the sun as it dips into the water at the far end of the earth. It’s relatively clutter and crowd free.

Belmont Shore neighborhood is one of the nicest beach town. Plus the number of shops and restaurants are pretty good. If you park in the residential area, you can park for free. The beach itself has a concrete walk and goes from Belmont Shore to Long Beach. Nice for jogging, in-​line skating and cycling. It never seems to be crowded, unless Long Beach is running an event. There are volleyball courts and a large pier for fishing, walking with a Rudy’s at the end of it. It’s a great place for outdoor exercising.

The beach can get a little messy (in & out the water), you get your occasional homeless people, thugs, hooligans, & right now they have a lot of construction going on (I see lots of potential). With that being said, i love the fact that it doesn’t get crowded with people & there’s a lot of hotties here. I get my little workout on on that walking/​run/​bike path and a nice view of the ships & islands out there. During the night, it looks beautiful with the city lights. I’m glad I live here and it doesn’t cost an arm & a leg i.e. Newport Beach, Huntington Beach, etc.

This isn’t a beach for you to go swim in because it is really close to Long Beach Port and that water isn’t the cleanest. However, it is a great area to exercise/​stroll around in. It is in downtown Long Beach off of Ocean Blvd. I frequent here a lot when my sister lived nearby and my family and I would stroll around this beach after a big family feast.
Parking around the neighborhood is pretty easy to find (except on weekends/​holidays) and you just make your way down the stairs (which a lot of people use to run up/​down for their exercise activity).
The sand is very soft and the water isn’t the cleanest but you can just dip your feet in it. Lots of people go biking, running, skateboarding along the coast. The view isn’t too shabby and the beach has a small pier where I saw people fishing at.

Very quite and peaceful. Parked off of ocean and crossed over to the beach. There are plenty of place to eat nearby as well as the famous Rubys on the pier.

This is a great beach to go to when you don’t want to be with the crowds. It is a bit dirty but that’s pretty much all I can complain about. There is usually street parking not too far away which is nice.
