Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier — Attraction in Long Beach

Nice to see a landmark tribute to those who served our country! The pier is great for those who like to fish. Paradoxical that there’s seafood serving restaurants nearby for customers who prefer to fish expensive Belmont Shore menu’s, without getting taken hook, line, and sinker! I’m not here for the fishing, tho do enjoy the scenery. The beaches have a different perspective and the unobstructed views of popular land and seascapes and are well worth a quick stroll! There’s a small vendor cart serving refreshments and selling some souvenir items, including t-shirts. Structures that possibly have housed business establishments are located at the end of the pier and appeared unavailable for public access. Restrooms or port-a-potty’s are available on the pier and are serviced during the day. I noticed a combination of oily and old fishy smells that apparently comes with the territory. I detach from the displeasure, my visual impression comes to the fore and I’m transformed into an immersive experience, all while...

Nice pier in a good, peaceful area in Long Beach.

This is a very laid down place, came on a Saturday and enjoyed watching the sunset after a run alongside the beach.

Most people were wearing masks while I was there, only a few exceptions with some runners but overall I felt pretty comfortable with the distancing and the flow of public in this area.

I recommend coming here to meditate, get your feet on the sand or just workout. It's the perfect activity in these crazy times and I feel the area is pretty safe and family friendly over here.

I saw some families roller skating and going on bikes with their kids and I thought it was an amazing idea to get little people outta the house for a while. Also, there's a lot of space closer to the shore if you're not to comfortable with having people walking next to you so, yeah, great place, definitely will...

I've been fishing here for 12 years. I hate the useless boat ramp that is there. It used to be an aquabus stop, then, it ended up falling into the ocean; clearly a rush build for a quick profit and a complete disregard for safety. The shop at the end needs serious help. It'd make sense to make it a split business; tackle and food stand. There is a useless patio deck behind the shop that is only used for private events. It'd be better to just open it up and extend the pier. Making the shop in the center, make bench tables for people to eat, maybe even do concerts there, add more bait chopping board railings all around and boom, you have a full on fishing pier that is more than welcoming for visitors and fishermen. There is just soo much work that could be done to make the pier more lively...
