There's a nice little strip of restaurants, bars and surf shops that will eventually lead you to the pier.

I found this parking garage by mistake because I turned on the wrong street. All this time, I never knew there was a parking garage near Main Street. This is hidden! I usually park about 4-6 blocks away just to park. Now I know that there is another parking garage close by, it will make my visits more enjoyable. Arrived at the is location at 16:00pm. There were plenty of parking available. Parking is spacious when divided by vehicle. Easy automation gate and provide KIOSK for payment. Overall, very clean parking garage. Time limit is such, 3hrs is $6 etc, and Maximum is $18. If dining at the restaurants nearby or nearby stores, this garage accepts 3 hour validations from all local establishments. Had a good experience. Clean, smell good safe Garage is all that someone can ask for.

Ocean Front Lot is a huge public park lot in Newport Beach. It is located right in front of the…read morebeach with many bars and restaurants nearby. It has multiple parking ticket stations that accept credit card or cash. Price per hour cost $4/hour which isn't cheap. Furthermore, this lot gets full very fast during weekends and events. Visitors tend to circle around the lot for at least 40 mins to an hour to find a car spot. Also, parking security is strict if your tkt has expired. It may cost you an arm and a leg. Street parking is available but some post sign 2 hr parking only. Overall, it's a nice parking lot because it's a foot away from the beach.

They have a few pay stations, so you put the little ticket on your dashboard. It requires you put your license plate number into the machine, so remember it. The spaces are plenty wide, so if you have concerns for carefree beach goers giving you a 'door ding,' you should be okay. Being that this is a popular area, getting a spot is not always easy, there is usually more demand than spots, but be patient. The lot hours are 8am - 6pm, any time outside that window these spaces are FREE.

I was here in Long Beach watching the news and getting ready for school when I watched as the second plane hit the 2nd tower. That memory has been with me since. While on a weekend trip to san diego we visited the air and space museum and were surprised to see a cruiser on display that was actually at ground zero! When I got back I thought to myself "I wonder if there's other artifacts that I can see around town". A quick search showed that there were pieces of steel from the towers here. So on 9/11 of last year, we drove out here to see the memorial and have a moment of silence for the victims. The memorial is located at the bottom of the staircase in a pentagon shaped base and honors all lost in the towers, flights as well as first responders. In the center stands a steel beam that was part of WTC donated by NYC Fire and Police. It's quite surreal seeing an object from that dark day in history.

You order at the register and seat yourself with a number. My boyfriend and I both got a warm buttered lobster roll each and a bowl of clam chowder fl share. The food was ready quickly. The lobster roll was excellent. A bit on the pricey side, to be expected for the location, but good texture and flavor. The clam chowder I definitely wouldn't get again. Not a typical clam chowder I'm used to. Didn't seem like a ton of cream but a lot of flour or cornstarch thickener that weakened the flavor. The seasonings were lacking BUT there was a good amount of clam. Very cute place with great location! The restaurant was an hour from closing and wasn't full. When we walked back to downtown, it was BUSTLING. So probably better options in the actual city, but right now it's the only option on the pier (with a restaurant being constructed halfway on it as I speak). Would maybe go again? With visiting friends or if I'm feeling touristy?

We sat downstairs and enjoyed watching people fish and surf. Good ambiance, and if you wanted to eat somewhere quieter/see mostly the ocean, try getting a seat upstairs We ordered their lobster rolls only and sad to say I was disappointed. For $27 you get a small and not filling meal. The lobster itself was good, fresh and cooked well. But despite knowing why it cost that much, with location and the type of seafood, it was a shock to see an item this much be so small. There are better lobster rolls for their taste and price so I probably won't get this again. However, I am willing to come back and try their other entrees and raw items

The area is well kept, and there is a reasonable amount of parking to be had, this said, the day and time chosen makes the difference between a hidden gem of a beach and Thunderdome - plan thoughtfully. There's a decently kept restroom and play area, and the last few times I've been here it seems like they're keeping a good handle on the homeless situation, but like anywhere, be thoughtful of your surroundings. Timing wise the morning is lots of surfers, during the summer the mid-day is general beach going population (lots of families who know the deal of an easy beach with free parking), the afternoons are up for grabs, and after 4p you're competing with residents who (understandably) do not care all that much about your afternoon at their home in comparison to having a parking space for the evening. ;)
