Belmont Pier
Belmont pier isn't spectacular. It's south of Long Beach. Early in the 20th century,
the residents of Belmont wanted a pier. They also wanted to be a city, so they
voted overwhelmingly to break away from the control of Long Beach. But a
few years of a much higher taxes to support their city made them wizen up
and ask Long Beach if they can join back, the condition being Long Beach
builds them a pier. So that's how this pier came about.
