The Long Beach Walking Club is a community-driven group that brings women together for regular walks around Long Beach. Our mission is to explore the beauty of our city, promote health and wellness, and foster connections among our members. We host various walks and events, often collaborating with local businesses and nonprofits, to support and uplift our community. Whether you’re looking to make new friends, stay active, or discover hidden gems in Long Beach, every woman is welcome to join us!

We warmly welcome women of all backgrounds, ages, and body types to join us. Our community is open to anyone who shares our passion for movement and empowerment.

For most of our events, we do ask that you RSVP in advance. This helps us ensure we have enough materials and/or accommodations for everyone attending. If you’re unsure whether an RSVP is required for a specific event, please check the event details or reach out to us for confirmation. Thank you for your cooperation!

We believe in keeping our community accessible to all, so there are no membership fees at this time.
Our walks are free and open to everyone.

While we post our schedule monthly, exact walk details are posted the week of the walk. Be sure to follow us on Instagram!

(For example, if there is a walk on Sunday, we usually post on Wednesday)

Our walking schedule varies, but we typically have regular walks Sunday mornings & Wednesday evenings during the summer. We have our monthly calendar pinned at the top of our IG profile! Be sure to check out our event calendar or connect with us on social media for the latest updates.

Absolutely! You are more than welcome to join any Long Beach Walking Club activities on your own. Our community is inclusive, and many members attend events individually. It's a great opportunity to meet new people, make friends, and enjoy the camaraderie of likeminded women. Whether you're a solo walker or prefer the company of others, we look forward to having you join us on your wellness journey!

Our walks take place in and around Long Beach, exploring scenic routes along the coastline, through parks, and around the city's vibrant neighborhoods.

Comfortable walking shoes, weather-appropriate attire, a water bottle, and a positive attitude are all you need. We often encourage members to bring a friend too!

Yes! We are dog friendly.

Leashed & well behaved dogs are always welcome!

Our goal is to empower women and offer a respite from the demands of home and work. We value open communication, which can be difficult with children present, and we want to provide mothers with a relaxing space to connect with other women. To achieve this, the Long Beach Walking Club maintains a child-free policy for all of our walks and events. This helps us create a focused, supportive environment where women can engage fully without distractions. We understand this may be challenging for those with childcare needs, but we believe this policy is crucial for the community we’ve built. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation in helping us maintain this environment.

Our child-free policy is in place to maintain a space where women can connect, share, and support one another without distraction. We understand that this policy may not accommodate everyone, but it helps us preserve the supportive and open environment we have worked hard to create. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in respecting this policy.
