Belmont Shores 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.
