About Alamitos Beach in Long Beach, California
Alamitos Beach is the western end of Long Beach City Beach near the intersection of Ocean Boulevard and Alamitos Avenue, hence the beach name. Despite the name this beach is on the ocean and not on Alamitos Bay (see Alamitos Bay Beach for an excellent beach on the bay). Adjacent Long Beach City Beach is south facing, but at the west end it curls around a bit to meet Shoreline Marina so Alamitos Beach actually faces southeast. It’s a wide open sandy beach with many nice hotels and urban amenities nearby.
Sunbathers spread out here, volleyballers hit the sand courts, and bikers ride the paved path that meanders east to Belmont Pier. What you won’t see are surfers because the waves are blocked by the port and the Long Beach breakwaters. Check with the lifeguards for water conditions before swimming here. A parking lot is available off Shoreline Drive, but it fills up quickly.
