National Blvd. Access |
| |
Follow National Blvd. down from Park St. until you hit the boardwalk. (In the summer you will a pass but people that aren't from LB can pay for a day pass. During the winter the gate is closed so you will need to hop the fence, jump from the top of the boardwalk or head to the Edwards ramp.) |

Additional Surfing Infos |
| | This spot is best surfed only during the fall and winter. In the summer, lifeguards are on duty which make it very hard to surf National but in the winter and fall the beach is closed and Long Beach is hit with hurricanes and Noreasters.

Overview |
| |
Atmosphere |
Most people that don't know much about surfing in Long Beach head down to Lincoln where it is super-crowded and full of kooks. When you see National on a good day, it is two feet bigger and the barrels are two feet hollower (is that a word?). So, next time instead of Lincoln, check National. |

General |
I think this is the best spot in Long Beach when its firing. National Beach was world class on days like Easter, Columbus Day, Labor Day, Christmas eve and Washingtons Birthday. (It's just a coincidence that good waves fall on major holidays).
I just wanted to add that the Lincoln kooks have managed to find their way to National and Magnolia. So much for a sick spot. I think everyone should definitely try to get a day in there, especially when the conditions are good - just be aware that the "Lincoln Posse" is moving westward. How sad. |
