Shoreline Pedestrian Bike Path

This is one of the Best Bike Trails In L.A. Use the main beach to glide, bike, or walk along the water's edge from Alamitos Bay to Shoreline Village. From Alamitos Avenue in the west to 54th Place in the east, this 3.1-mile bike path is a 17-foot-wide concrete trail that runs along the shore. There are two six-foot cycling lanes and one five-foot pedestrian lane. At Alfredos on the west end, you may hire skates, bikes, umbrellas, and beach chairs. Contact 434-6121 for further details.

Starting in Shoreline Village in Long Beach, this paved path travels down the city's sandy beachfront, passing the Long Beach Museum of Art, Belmont Brewing, and Rosie's Dog Beach. The designated path finally comes to an end near Bay Shore Avenue, but if you travel north on that street, you'll arrive at the entrance of the picturesque Naples canals.

Citizens who wished to connect a 29-mile bike path network started the Shoreline Pedestrian/Bicycle Path. A grant from the Los Angeles County Transportation Commission matched funding from the city for capital improvements. In January 1988, this cycling path was built.

The City of Long Beach's limits include four additional significant Class I bike pathways (off-road distinct bike paths) totaling more than 60 miles. The city also features a large number of Class III paths connecting bike routes with shared use of the road with automobiles and Class II paths, which are marked lanes on the road.
