About This Beach
Alamitos Beach stretches along Ocean Boulevard in Long Beach, offering a wide sandy shoreline protected by a breakwater that creates calm swimming conditions. The beach features numerous volleyball courts where casual players and organized leagues compete year-round. A wide beachfront path, part of the 3.1-mile Long Beach Shoreline Bike Path, accommodates cyclists, joggers, and skaters with panoramic views of the Queen Mary ocean liner and Palos Verdes Peninsula. The beach includes a dedicated outdoor fitness area with exercise equipment and hosts regular beach yoga classes. Alamitos is bordered by Bixby Park with its historic band shell and basketball courts, while the nearby Junipero Beach section offers fire rings for evening gatherings. The area combines urban beach convenience with excellent facilities, including multiple restrooms, showers, and concession options.
