Hard to disagree. This is a great beach.  Redondo and Hermosa have their own vibes and so does Manhattan.  All up and down this part of the coast is great.  

And bonus points for lack of crackheads, bums, and assorted camper/trailer park trash (circa…More »

Spending a few days in Vegas but need a break from the strip?  Wake up early one morning, have some breakfast, and head out to Red Rock.  The drive is easy and quick.  The view is wonderful as you approach.  It looks like a 3D painting.  When you get…More »

As you can see from the other reviews, it looks like 5 stars are given out like candy.  But that's not the case here. 5 stars is what this area gets.  You're not gonna find a better place to do your outdoor stroll, walk, jog, skate, ride thing.

This is a great rubberized track. It's a little more than a quarter mile around.  Probably like 400 meters.  It's not the size of a typical track which has 8 lanes.  This has more like 6 but it's still a nice sized track.  The surface is excellent…More »

Best park in the Torrance area or anywhere within a 20 mile radius.  The walking/jogging path around the whole park is one of the longest you'll find in a city park.  It's all paved and includes one fairly steep hill depending on which direction you…More »

This area is great.  It's very popular with people.  You can't beat the view.  I mean, lots of open green grass.  Just bring you a blanket, setup a picnic and you're golden.  Always seems to be a nice breeze even on the hot days.  Not much I can add…More »

This is an excellent bike path.  They recently re-paved it and you can see some effort going into making the whole stretch look better.  This path is great for walkers and joggers, but really shows it's value when it comes to bikes because it's…More »

Oh yeah.  This is about as good as it gets.  I never get tired of riding my bike here.  Watch out for those crazy Lance Armstrong types who think they're riding the 4th leg through the Swiss Alps.

Excellent smooth path.  This is a great place for walking, jogging, biking, and skating.  And you'll find all of the above at any given moment.  Be careful of the weekend tourist who don't seem to have a clue which direction they're headed and lack…More »

Worst beaches in the Southbay.  Reason being, it's not natural to hold up the flow of the ocean like this.  The breakwater is the reason and it's man-made (back in the WWII days to defend against attack.  Well, the side effect is NO WAVES.  If you're…More »

I love this area of Long Beach.  If you're a runner, jogger, walkers, skater, biker, or any other 'er, this is a nice place to go.  Safe, lots of people watching, good vibe.

Couple of things to watch for:
1. When entering the park, if you're headed to one of the picnic tables, be careful walking through the grass because there are lots of spots that stay wet and muddy.
2. Birds love this area, so if you want to use a…More »

Agree tear this crap out.  It's man-made in the first place.  Left over from WWII thinking.  It's outdated and smells.

But it is good for the fishing types.  It gives them access to all this wonderful still water.

They could tear out most of it and…More »
