Photos and information on the Belmont Shore area of Long Beach along 2nd Street and Ocean Avenue in the southern portion of the city. It, like Naples, was supposed to become a "little Italy" complete with canals. Unlike nearby Naples, the community never took hold. It did, however, evolve into a quaint beach community. It is located near California State University at Long beach.
