Belmont Shore

A neighborhood that actually lives on the water.

Belmont Shore is the sliver of land at the tip of Long Beach — a real neighborhood, not a resort. Walk to the bay, walk to the ocean, walk to 2nd Street. People who live here stay for years. Jasmin is one of them.

LGB airport is 10 minutes away. LAX is 30–40 minutes depending on traffic. The parking situation is genuinely easy — Peninsula includes 2 dedicated spots per unit, and street parking is available on most blocks.

July and August are peak — families, surfers, everyone. September and October are better. Fewer people, the same water, the same light.

The area guide

Jasmin's short list for Belmont Shore.

🏖
Two beaches
Alamitos Bay is right out the door — calm, sheltered, great for paddleboarding and swimming with kids. The Pacific side is a 2-minute walk for waves and surf. Very different vibes, same distance.
🍜
2nd Street
A mile-long strip of restaurants, bars, coffee, and shops. Walkable from the house — 15–20 minutes on foot, or a quick rideshare. Jasmin has a running list of her current favorites and will share it on check-in.
🚤
Water activities
Alamitos Bay is one of the best paddleboard spots in LA County. Kayaks, e-foils, and boat rentals are available a short walk away. Surf on the Pacific side — Long Beach has consistent beach breaks year-round.
✈️
Getting here
Long Beach Airport (LGB) is 10 minutes by car. LAX is 30–40 min. Both units include 2 dedicated parking spots. The neighborhood is walkable once you're settled — you won't need the car much.
☀️
When to come
Year-round weather in Long Beach is exceptional. June gloom runs through early July. Peak season is July–August. September and October are the best — warm, clear, fewer crowds. Jasmin recommends October.
🎭
Nearby
The Queen Mary is 15 minutes away. Aquarium of the Pacific is 20 minutes. Downtown Long Beach and the Pike are walkable from the property. Naples Island is a 15-minute walk — canals and gondolas worth seeing.

"The roof deck view is just — unreal. You can see the bay to the north and the Pacific to the south at the same time. We had breakfast up there every morning. Jasmin had the kitchen fully stocked when we arrived."

"Best vacation rental experience I've ever had. Location is perfect. The beds are actually good — real quality mattresses. And Jasmin is the most thoughtful host I've encountered. She thought of everything."

"We walked to the beach four times a day. The bay side for morning swims with the kids, the ocean side for afternoons. Two beaches, one house. That setup is genuinely rare."

"We came back for the second time this year. That says everything. The upper unit is spectacular — the bay views at sunrise are something I think about regularly. Already booked for next summer."

Jasmin
Property Manager · California

Runs the Peninsula from the ground up. Has lived in Belmont Shore for years — knows 2nd Street, the beach access points, the parking situation, and which coffee shop is worth the walk. She's the reason the California reviews say "the host thought of everything."

Co-Founder

Co-founded Shankton with Chris nearly a decade ago. Peninsula is the West Coast anchor — the property that started the California side of the portfolio. Runs the collection year-round across both coasts.
