Peninsula is a neighborhood in Long Beach, California. It separates Alamitos Bay from the Pacific Ocean.[1] It is adjacent to Belmont Shore and across the water from Naples.
The first homes were built between 1902 and 1904.[1]
The Pacific Electric Long Beach-Alamitos Bay-Seal Beach Line ran along the Peninsula and across a trestle to Seal Beach, where it connected with the Balboa Line. This track was abandoned in 1940.[2] [1]
Sand is moved from the beach near the Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier to the Peninsula to replenish what is carried away by the prevailing currents.[3]
