The Peninsula is a narrow coastal neighborhood in southeast Long Beach, set between Alamitos Bay and the Pacific Ocean, with shoreline views and a breezy marine climate. Alamitos Bay Beach and the paths and sand along the ocean side make outdoor time a defining part of the area; waterfront routes also offer space for walking and cycling with dogs. Dining and coffee options are scattered along nearby Second Street in Belmont Shore, while the Peninsula itself has a quieter, primarily residential feel and limited shopping. The Long Beach Marine Stadium and Naples Island are nearby landmarks, and the bay’s canals and marinas reflect the area’s maritime character. Residents can get around on foot or by bike for local trips, while buses and major roads connect the neighborhood to the rest of Long Beach. For the Peninsula neighborhood, the median rent is $2,595 per month, with a typical range of $1,995 to $12,000, based on 19 active listings.
