Located in the southwestern part of the city of Long Beach, Alamitos Beach is an east-facing beach with light brown sand. This beach is situated between Long Beach City Beach and the Shoreline Yacht Club Marina. The water near this beach is owing to the presence of numerous ports and breakwaters along the Long Beach coastline. Alamitos Beach is not to be confused with another separate beach with a similar name called Alamitos Bay Beach which is located to the north beside the inland Alamitos Bay. Alamitos Beach offers numerous amenities including lifeguards, volleyball courts, a biking path, restrooms, showers, and water sporting equipment rental facilities. Dogs are not allowed on this beach. Getting to Alamitos Beach is easy – it is located near the intersection of Alamitos Avenue and Ocean Boulevard (which is how the beach got its name). There is a paid parking lot near Shoreline Drive. We recommend getting there early since the parking lot fills up quickly.
