Belmont Shore, a distinct area of Long Beach California, stretches along 2nd Street and Ocean Avenue on the southern most end of the city. On Christmas Eve of 1915 the much anticipated pier opened to the public. Its official name was the Grand Avenue Pier, but it was also called the Belmont Heights Pier by some and the Devil’s Gate Pier by most; a name which referred to the geologic formation (a natural rock bridge) which in those days extended seaward from the low bluffs at 39th Place. Construction of a new replacement pier started in 1966 just east of the old pier. The pier is built of concrete and is 1620 feet long. On Sunday, February 19, 1967, the pier officially opened and local newspaper’s reported, “Throngs Hail Opening of New Pier.” To this day, it remains a landmark of local distinction and an endearing monument to Southern California’s coastal roots.

A Belmont Pier master plan was developed that has guided upgrades to the pier including enhanced access for the disabled, upgraded benches and restrooms, parking lot improvements, new lighting and electrical, upscale dining opportunities, fishing, and water taxi service access.
