Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier, Belmont Shore, Long Beach, CA 90803

The Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier is a fun way to while away an afternoon in Belmont Shore. Park in the lot at the foot of Termino, shared with La Palapa, Belmont Plaza Olympic Pool, and the other restaurants and shops on 39th Place, including the Belmont Brewing Company (great outdoor dining! www.belmontbrewing.com‎ ), Gypsy's Mediterranean Grill (4 stars on www.yelp.com!) , Pacific Sporting Goods Scuba (www.pacificscubacenter.com‎) and Chronic Tacos (www.eatchronictacos.com‎). Yankee Doodle is nearby, plus locally famous Chuck's Coffee House.

The original wooden pier was built in 1915, and the current concrete pier was completed in 1967. Spectacular views of the Long Beach skyline abound. On a sunny day, you can see to Catalina Island and beyond. The water shimmers, and you feel like you're on a vacation. On cooler, winter days, bundling up against the ocean breezes gets bit moody, but you then can look forward to a great pick me up at the Belmont Brewing Company, or a carne asada burrito at Chronic Tacos.

Faithful Long Beach fisherpersons of all ages are ever present on the pier. Most are there to enjoy the mood, and occasionally they get lucky! Kids love it, parents love it, dogs love it...fish hate it!

There is full access to the beach from the pier...take advantage! You can walk the whole length of the 1,800 foot pier, or ride your Segway! I've even seen bikers on the pier (the Long Beach bike path runs right past the foot of the pier), although I'm not sure you're supposed to. Take your dog: they'll love it! There's a snack bar and bait shop at the end...your choice.

They hold lots of events at the pier, including the Congressional Cup in March, the Kids Fishing Rodeo in July and Taste of the Coast in August.
