If you’re looking for a place to get your dog moving (without dodging skateboards), I highly recommend the grass patch along the Shoreline Boardwalk. Start at Gaucho’s/Alamitos Beach and cruise along the long, scenic path that stretches all the way to Yard House. It’s wide enough to avoid distractions, but be careful at night for hidden holes — not exactly what you want to run into while speeding through with your pup.
For shorter runs that are also easy on their joints, head to the grass patches on Ocean Blvd in front of Long Beach Towers. The soft turf makes it the perfect spot for sprints, and the views? Unbeatable. Whether you’re jogging with your dog or just taking in the fresh air, it’s a perfect escape from the city buzz.
