Located in the Peninsula neighborhood of the city of Long Beach, Peninsula Beach is the name of a south-facing sandy beach that borders the Pacific Ocean. This beach is not to be confused with Peninsula Bayside Beach which is another separate beach on the northern part of the Peninsula neighborhood facing Alamitos Bay. This beach is a stretch of light brown sand and has calm waters due to the presence of Long Beach Breakwater nearby. The northern part of the beach is wider than its southern part. The beach also has a boardwalk running along its length called the Seaside Walk, which was built in the 1920s and is considered to be a heritage landmark by local residents. It has a backdrop of the bright residential houses of the Peninsula neighborhood. The beach has lifeguards and restrooms on its southern end, but it does not offer any other amenities. Dogs are not allowed on the beach. Getting to Peninsula Beach is easy - it's located near the East Seaside Walk between 55th Place and 72nd Place. There is a paid parking lot available on the north end of the beach at Bayshore Playground and at the southern end of the beach near Alamitos Park while street parking is available along the side streets of Ocean Boulevard.
