LONG BEACH ― Coastal cities up and down the coast from San Diego to Ventura are redeveloping waterfront properties to be more appealing and to ultimately increase the economic value of these harbors. These marinas provide many amenities not just to the surrounding community but to visitors from near and far including local and out-of-town boaters.
Alamitos Bay Landing, located at the south end of Alamitos Bay Marina in Long Beach, while evolving has been dealing with growing pains. The area was originally called Seaport Village. Bancap, a real estate investment firm, took over the property in 1996 – 26 years after the center first opened and changed the name to Alamitos Bay Landing.
A recent redevelopment of Alamitos Bay Landing brought new restaurants to the area, all in hopes of drawing more visitors to Long Beach’s waterfront. The city’s goal to increase visitor-serving foot traffic at this locale is consistent with similar visions of redevelopment projects at harbors in San Diego, Dana Point, Redondo Beach, Marina del Rey and Ventura County.
However some of the Alamitos Bay Marina’s boaters have expressed their frustrations with the recent changes at this establishment. Many nuisances root from parking issues and alleged theft.

Boat owners who support Marina and local businesss should have priority for SECURE PARKING for the amount of money they spend on slip fees and for their support of local business.
Thanks Chris (I think I know who this is lol) and absolutely agree. We pay a lot for this water and many of us have been here for many years. Nina’s article was fair and accurate and the boaters are very appreciative of the initiative she took in investigating and reporting this.
