    Beach

    I really like this route. It's never overly crowded and it's got great views. There are going to be a lot of non locals during the weekend with their tandem bikes and scooters but that is only because the place is really cool. Family friendly. Good for a single run as well.

    Amazing path, Always really clean. I like to spend hours just riding back and forward. The view is really nice, The traffic is a bit busy sometimes. Do not forget to bring some water with You.

    Whether you plan on walking/running/biking 1 mile to 10 miles, this is THE place to do it! Ideal path: go from Belmont Shore to Belmont Pier to Rainbow Lagoon/Harbor to Shoreline Village to the Aquarium to the lighthouse! You'll get a lot of mileage in. The possibilities are endless! - Very clean, smooth and organized. - There's a path for bikers & there's another path for pedestrians and runners - The new pavement for the pedestrians/runners is better for the knees - Public restrooms are available - Very open and safe - Great views of Long Beach! Ocean breeze I'd totally recommend this place if you want a safe place to be active!

    My first time running here was for a small non profit 5k.. Labor Day Splash for Fitness 4 All. The race began at 8am. The race had 5k & 10k since the path is 3 miles one way total I believe, so turn around halfway for a 5k. Turnaround at end for 10k. There are even distance markers on the running path! I would say I am pleasantly surprised and loved running here! Can't complain about the beach being right there.. (Good lighting and scenery for the obligatory selfie) It's so nice there's two separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists! I heard the renovated pedestrian path is even different material better for runners! Makes me feel better for my knees even if that's not true. There's plenty of restrooms and water along the way. There are sinks, but when I went it wasn't working (maybe for the drought). Doesn't matter though bc like all beaches there's no soap, so I recommend hand sani. There were people along path but not too crowded, even a few cute pups along the way (8am Sunday during holiday weekend). It might get more crowded as it gets later though, I know I wouldn't be up running that early if it weren't for the race. It did start warming up though, and running one way on path the sun was beaming down on me! For parking.. There was a lot that was slowly filling up towards 9am, it's 25 cents per 15 mins. But we parked on the street that marked no parking 9-5? So it was easy to find parking when we got there at 8am, and we left right at 9. So idk how parking situation is during day, but it was easy to find before 9! I had a great experience and would love running here regularly but it's a little far for just a workout. And I'm not sure how the parking situation would be during peak hours. But I definitely recommend for runners and walkers looking for a nice scenic stroll, especially with babies & fur babies. (I heard there's a dog park close by)

    Pocket-friendly, family-friendly, calorie-burning, stress-relieving, spiritually-uplifting, breath-taking, nasal-clearing, trachea-burning, lung-expanding, port-question-inducing, fwy-close, easy-parking. Ya sick of the hyphenated words yet? That was my sad attempt @ impressing you by this place. If you're lucky, you might see Cal Worthington walking his dog Spot near the Sailor statue (i kid, i kid!.) But, if you don't love it already as my fellow Long-Beachian, trust me, this place grows on you quick. "Mama always told me not to look into the eyes of the sun But mama, that's where the fun is!" -- my only piece of advice is to try not facing West on the path between 5 and 7.

    When I moved to Long Beach I decided to start running. This Bike/Pedestrian path is 3 blocks from my house, perfect! By the time I walk/jog down there I'm warmed up! Then from the Belmont Pier I run towards downtown. In the evening you have the sun setting over PV and the LB skyline in front of view, with the ocean to your left. It's also a great place to rollerblade, or ride your bike. The path ends after it wraps around the harbor out towards the ocean. Double back and you get a view of Belmont Shores and the OC. I love to go down here to get away from the hustle and bustle and clear my head with a good run while I zone out on my iPod.

    Really nice area to walk around with family there is many dog friendly areas. parking situation is a pain, I ended up paying 8$ to be there for one hour.

    Beautiful running and skateboarding path.

    Got in a beautiful 6 mile run on this pristine strand running South towards Belmont Shores. Much cleaner with less sand and debris than the Venice/Santa Monica strand and fewer cracks in the pavement. It also wasn't too crowded. Perfect place to be cruising on the skateboard. After my run I did a quick 2.5 mile walk to the North taking in the sights of the Queen Mary and the sunset. This route was not as smooth and clean but the views were pretty. Will definitely keep this in my exercise repertoire!

    It is not the cleanest beach but it is still nice to workout here - beats running on the treadmill. The pathway seems to be maintained pretty well - I haven't noticed any sidewalks that pop out, and the city seems to be fixing things up. They are in the process of replacing their old bathroom stalls with new ones (so in the meantime, they have port-o-potties - yuck), and landscaping is also improving with new plants being installed. I've seen a few police cars patrol here and there making their presence known. There's always a good amount of people riding their bikes, walking or running along the path but I have never encountered any bad vibes or overcrowding. Although most days you can spot transients laying out but they don't seem to bother. My complaints: is that a lot of debris and dead seaweed gets washed up on the shore (especially after it has rained). People need to pick up their trash. I wouldn't recommend going in the water (too many cargo ships and storm run-offs, the water is probably contaminated). Oh, and on a really, really hot day, the air quality can suck and you can really smell the diesel from nearby refineries. Those are the days when I decide to workout indoors. Despite all the negatives, nothing beats the ocean waves crashing at your feet as you run along the sand.

    I don't see this dude as been fat but a guy that can cycle further distance, plenty of energy to burn. Just kidding bro!

Still nice but with a major upgrade. It's part of the aquarium of the pacific just along the harbor. There's a parking lot that's part of it but the payment situations was a bit of a mess. Paying with credit card on the machine was a hit or miss. Which i also found out from someone else there. It's probably easy just to do it from your phone. It's a decent size parking lot but there's also parking at the structure just next to the aquarium. It's a cute rolling hill park that looks out to both the queen mary, shoreline village and the harbor. Depending on what side you are. It's a cute little walk around with the lighthouse on top. There's benches scattered throughout the park for seating. There's even a little beach like path along the harbor. Regardless which side you are, the view is quite beautiful. There's also fishing that you could do on the pier. You'll see people about and about walking, picnicking, walking with their dogs or a stroll. Long Beach has its hidden gems and this place was one of them.

Quieter, green grass (it'd be nice to bring a book here) away from the hustle and bustle. And the views are hard to beat, the Lighthouse, the shore with boats and Queen Mary in the near distance. Bring a snack, a drink, take a nice break here, a cool walk to explore the Shoreline Park. Always enjoyable!

Assuming this is all part of the Drake Park proper, but it took a little intuition to find the entrance for our first visit. And still, the parking lot is small, filled with litter, human waste, and lots of broken auto glass... And it's about a 200 yard walk to the entrance of the artificial turf soccer field. Much of the human detritus in the parking lot is likely attributed to the considerable homeless population that is evident in the immediate area: dozens of people were camped out just across the street, in the dirt lot area adjacent to the river channel. That same dirt lot is variably covered with piles of demolition construction materials haphazardly dumped by who knows who? In pure defiance of posted signs prohibiting dumping. Other "unhoused Angelinos" seem to be wandering about the park, utilizing senses beyond my standard five (sight, smell, taste, hearing, and feeling) to experience things I can only imagine.... and a couple had set up camp in the park's landscaping adjacent to the walking path. Not so much unsafe as much as unsanitary This part of the park features what appears to be some kind of community garden - - locked and secured behind 10 foot chain-link fences. there is a public park restroom with only 2 of the 8 single seater stalls unlocked, and both are horrific inside. Some beautiful wall murals are marred by tagging. Much of the park here is adjacent to industrial yards, and most of the bordering landscape is littered with garbage. The soccer field is actually quite beautiful: artificial turf field with a perimeter fence. I laughed a little bit at the idea that this was a "green belt" and the soccer field was artificial turf... But there is certainly some actual real grass field in this park, and some California native plants along the periphery. So I guess that counts in the midst of This residential-industrial interface. The air was pretty heavy with the smell of oil refinery and low tide from the nearby river channel, which was probably a bigger deal to the soccer players than it was to me as a spectator. A generous three stars for the really nice soccer field and the fact that my truck windows weren't added to the considerable collection of broken auto window glass on the ground in the parking lot. My only other Long Beach Park frame of reference is Bluff Park, so I can confidently say this is nicer.... relative, though, that comparison is...

The garden features a large pond filled with koi, including around 30 big koi and what looks like hundreds of smaller ones they are raising. It is a relaxing place to watch the fish swim by and enjoy the scenery. One of the best parts is that visiting is free, but you do need to make a reservation ahead of time. They allow up to six people per reservation, and they typically do not take walk-ins, so plan ahead before coming. The garden itself is on the smaller side, and the walking path takes about 15 minutes at a casual pace. Still, there are plenty of places to sit and enjoy the surroundings. You will find charming bridges, small waterfalls, lily pads throughout the pond, and even a little Zen garden area.
