Junipero Beach is actually located right by Alamitos Beach, so you can hop from one beach to the other on the same day if you like. Easily accessed from Long Beach, this beach is also sometimes known under the name 'Cherry Beach' due to the fact that it is located off Cherry Avenue. Whatever you decide to call it, this Long Beach beach is a welcoming, comfortable stretch of coastline with some super views and a lot going on.

Yoga classes run here on a regular basis and are open to all and part of the beach allows dogs out on the sand, so it's a cool spot to bring a four-legged friend. There are plenty of good amenities at Junipero Beach as well, including restrooms, showers, on-duty lifeguards, a local playground for kids, a local outdoor exercise area, and some good eateries just a short walk away.
