1 / 3Bayshore Playground
📍 Belmont Shore, CA
Long Beach waterfront venue at 54th and Ocean with swimming, kayak rentals, floating bounce houses, basketball, pickleball, racquetball, and a playground - all with direct water access and easy parking.
🏆 Family Action Verdict
Best for active families with kids across a wide age range who want water and land activities in one location. The floating bounce houses are a standout for younger children; older kids gravitate to the courts and open water. Litter in the sand and water is an ongoing issue - bring your own cleanup supplies and supervise young swimmers closely.

“Great little neighborhood playground that have activities for all ages and family’s activities. Right on the corner of 54th & Ocean and right on waterfront or easy access to it. They got basketball, hockey course, pickle ball, racket ball course and playground plus water activity and a restaurant all in the one spot. Easy and free parkings too.”

“A great place to take the kids. Well ran by lifeguards. I wish people would clean up after themselves because there are chicken bones in the water and candy wrappers in the sand.”
