The name says it all – Long Beach City Beach is everything you would expect from a long beach. The broad sandy beach stretches for 4 miles, all the way from Long Beach Harbor to Alamitos Bay. Before the Long Beach Breakwaters were installed in the 1940’s, people used to come from near and far to surf on this beach. These days the waves are much tamer and more suitable for swimming than surfing, although you can still have loads of fun with a boogie board or kite board. There is a wide paved path which follows the beach and is very popular with walkers, runners, cyclists and skateboarders.
Address: Long Beach City Beach, 1 Junipero Ave, Long Beach, CA 90803
