Nestled along the Coast in the southeast corner of Long Beach, Belmont Shore is a charming beachside community home to more than 250 businesses. The owners and staff of many of these businesses are as much a part of the neighborhood as the residents. The care and concern for the community contributes to its small town feel.
Second Street and the 15 intersecting side streets make up the business district of Belmont Shore. This business corridor lies in the heart of the exclusive seaside community, affectionately referred to by locals as “the Shore”. The neighborhood features beautiful Spanish style homes from the 1920s and ‘30s as well as charming beach bungalows.
A place to mingle, meet up with old friends and make new ones, 2nd Street is where familiar faces, including those of the dogs, stroll and gather outside local coffee shops or on the corner for impromptu conversations. Residents enjoy walking to 2nd Street to take care of daily errands at the local hardware store, markets, pharmacy, post office, dry cleaners and banks, where it doesn’t feel so much like a task but an outing. Belmont Shore even has a waterfront library with a view!
One of the biggest draws to Belmont Shore is the seemingly endless array of excellent restaurants. From finer dining to take out, coffee houses to pubs, and markets to sweet shops, there are almost 50 establishments to satisfy your thirst and appetite, whatever you crave. In addition to a wide range of food and beverage establishments, the restaurants span the globe in types of cuisine. Enjoy southern BBQ, contemporary Californian cuisine, and good old fashioned American or delve into the more exotic Indian, Thai, Lebanese, French, Japanese, and Greek. There is something to suit everyone’s taste. The opportunity to dine al fresco on the many sidewalk adjacent patios is part of what makes Belmont Shore so special. On the patio, diners can enjoy warm sunshine and ocean breezes while people watching. At night, dine under the stars as Belmont Shore has great weather year round.
