The emergency operations center received a call from the Sikorsky Airport Tower saying that they'd lost contact with a single engine Cesna, police said.
Moments later, officials were notified that the plane had landed on the West Beach area of Seaside Park.
The plane may have run out of fuel, according to a city official.
There doesn't appear to be any substantial damage to the plane or the beach, officials said.
“We’re grateful the pilot was able to do what seems be all the right things and had the ability to land on the beach away from residential areas safely. I also want to recognize that all response efforts from each coordinating city department during this incident were handled quickly and properly - and that we can report no injuries, no damages," Mayor Joe Ganim said in a statement.
The crash is under investigation by the National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
