👍👍 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 wit...

    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 go back soon

    Very nice to go fishing or walk the only thing is that the bathrooms that are there are super dirty

    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 remaining dry!

    Had never been to this beach and doubt we'd ever do it again. Very dirty, there was a lifeguard picking up used syringes of the ground. This is a family beach, there were kids all over, why aren't authorities doing something about this??

    Cool pier. Free parking after 6pm but pier gates close at midnight. U can fish and they sell bait and a few snacks Herr. All restrooms are closed but porter potty are open. Of course they have bad odor and graffiti all over. A lot of drug addicts/homeless use these so please be very cautious using and sanitizer what you touch. I believe they can have better maintenance for the restrooms.

    Good place to walk. Lots of fishermen, and homeless. I'm sure there are good views, but it was hazy when I was here. The ocean is cold and dirty and dark. The beach is empty and there is lots of garbage laying around.

    Went night fishing here. got there at 9pm and there were other people fishing on the pair which was nice... Head around midnight the security and drop on the pier to let everyone know that the pier was closed. It's a nice pier to walk and to fish from.

    The water looked perfect at the time I went there which is so sad for such a trashy pier. So getto, most lights were out, as we walked deeper and farther the pee smell got stronger. Trash was everywhere. It was so uncomfortable to walk there after sunset with no lights and pee smell. The biggest fear was the broken cement piece in the bottom where it was so easy for a little kid to fall into the water!!! (See pic)

    Pleasant to take a stroll down the pier. The view is good and there are food and drink establishments along the shore to visit as well.

    Great beach to spend time with family. The beach is not the cleanest compared to Huntington and Newport. Parking is free after 6 pm and they have plenty of parking. Fishing is good and you can find a lot of people fishing here. Almost overcrowded always. You mostly get mackerel and sardines here. Sabiki rigs works perfectly fine for beginners.

    First time there plenty of parking easy paying method. The Pier was clean people going about their fishing. The beach area was also picked up and clean good place for family gatherings. If you show up in early evening be sure to take a jacket or sweater because the wind gets cold if you're not used to those conditions.

    Beach was awesome! It was quite warm, first trip to Long Beach was a fun experience! Parking wasn’t bad at all, we had a great time!

    I love this place, spent many summer days here hanging out with friends catching fish for fun. We'd stayed till midnight listening to the radio, waves crashing in the background good times.

    Little pier with lots to offer, parking available and safe for everyone. A must place to visit.

  • 3/5 Aurelija B. 10 months ago on Google
    Nice walk all the way to this pier. But if you want more live pier definitely not this one. Here many fishers were fishing. Some toilets are here and that’s it. Nothing etc Santa Monica. Just to pass by - why not. Or the beach it’s self. More quite then other piers.

    This place is calm and wasn’t crowded in winter. It has benches so you can sit and enjoy the water sound

    This stone must have been beautiful! Today it is very sad to see: broken concrete, condemned areas, dilapidated toilets. Not worth the detour!

👍👍 I love this fishing pier because they are very clean and have all the amenities you need for fishing. There's a scale on deck to measure the size of the fish you catch. There's also a table on deck with a water hose to wash and rinse your fish or rinse your hands. There were also rags tied to the ra...
