2ND & PCH

2ND and PCH is a 100,000 square foot open-air lifestyle center at the intersection of Second Street and Pacific Coast Highway in Long Beach, adjacent to the Belmont Shore neighborhood and the Los Angeles Harbor waterfront corridor. The property opened in 2019 as a replacement for the former Marina Shores retail center, with a tenant selection explicitly calibrated to the affluent coastal household demographic of the Second Street corridor and the broader Long Beach east side. Whole Foods Market anchors the center as the grocery draw that establishes visit frequency and defines the trade area’s income positioning. The Whole Foods anchor here is not a convenience addition — it is the leasing cornerstone around which the rest of the specialty retail and lifestyle tenant mix is organized.

The apparel and lifestyle register reflects the coastal premium demographic directly. Anthropologie, Free People, Madewell, Urban Outfitters, and Athleta cover the women’s premium contemporary category. TravisMathew and UNTUCKit serve the men’s premium casual segment with a Southern California golf and lifestyle orientation. lululemon, Vuori, and Nike anchor the activewear and performance footwear category. Sephora and Bluemercury occupy the beauty positions, their coexistence confirming the trade area income profile that supports both formats at proximity. gorjana, the Long Beach-founded jewelry brand with a coastal California design identity, brings authentic local brand provenance to the jewelry category.

The dining component maintains the center’s positioning register. Shake Shack and California Pizza Kitchen anchor the casual dining tier. Warby Parker and The Shade Store serve the accessories and home categories. The property’s scale is deliberately compact: at 100,000 square feet, every tenant must justify its footprint in a format where there is no room for volume-driven category fill. The result is a tenant mix with higher average category quality than comparable larger lifestyle centers in the metro.

For expansion teams evaluating the Long Beach coastal market, 2ND and PCH represents the primary lifestyle format in the Second Street corridor and the primary premium retail destination for the Belmont Shore and Naples Island residential catchment. The property’s positioning alongside Whole Foods, gorjana, Anthropologie, and Bluemercury establishes a trade area quality benchmark that few comparable centers in the Long Beach and coastal southeast Los Angeles County market achieve at this scale. Brands with proven coastal lifestyle performance in comparable premium open-air formats will find the Second Street catchment and co-tenancy profile consistent with those operating benchmarks.
