Walking is a great way to stay healthy, so doctors preach.
And while not all areas are that pedestrian friendly, Long Beach is in fairly good shape -- sidewalk-wise, that is.
WALK SCORE has ranked Long Beach as the #8 most walkable city in the country.
Downtown Long Beach scores the highest rating in town, while Belmont Shore comes in second.

Long Beach Heritage plans to host its annual meeting Sunday (July 27) at two historic locations downtown.
There will be a reception at the Farmers & Merchant Bank, 302 Pine Ave., followed by a meeting at The Cellar, 201 Broadway.
Both meetings, from 2 to 4 p.m., are free, but organizers are asking that reservations be made.
The F&M main branch was built in 1922, and its interior was restored recently to its original splendor, organizers noted in their announcement.
Visitors, organizers promised, will enjoy a "red Italian marble entrance with doors made of brass-plated steel opening onto a lobby with pink marble on the floor and the customer counter, metal teller wickets, terra cotta friezes with classical motifs on the mezzanine walls, 12 brass chandeliers with inlaid turquoise enamel, and skylights of amber stained glass." Wow!
The day's event includes year-end reports on Long Beach Heritage activities and events during the past year, installation of officers, including new president John Thomas.           Long Beach Heritage will host a reception at The Cellar, anchored in the Insurance Exchange Building. It was designated as a national historic landmark in 2003, and many of ots original architectural details, including Art Deco touches added in a 1930's remodel, were preserved and restored during the building's conversion to lofts.
Only meeting attendees will be allowed to attend the reception. For reservations, call (562) 493-7019 or e-mail preservation@lbheritage.org
