Description

Belmont Shore is a stretch of pristine beach in Long Beach Harbor that's tailor-made for swimming, surfing, or just soaking up the sun. It's also just three blocks inland, with an upscale shopping and dining district. Most line up along Second Street, a pleasantly landscaped strip that's great for an afternoon of browsing. From cigars to French pastries, Belmont Shore offers everything to satisfy the shoppers in your group. The business association here also puts on wonderful events and activities throughout the year--annual favorites are the acclaimed Christmas parade (a Belmont Shore tradition for over 25 years) and the Chocolate Festival that's sure to satisfy any sweet tooth.
