Confirmed from Bluff Park's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.
13.2-acre city park offering ocean views, footpaths, benches, telescopes & the Lone Sailor Memorial.

Love this place! There's a walkway that runs along the edge of the bluff and benches you can sit and watch the ocean. You are bound to leave feeling peace, tranquility, a connection with nature and humanity.
This is one of the most beautiful parks in Long Beach with a view of the Pacific Ocean and gentle sea breezes. Joggers, strollers and dog walkers are among those who visit this park frequently.
So so pretty. The perfect place to go for a run, play volleyball, jump in the water, or simply take a nice walk. This beach is so clean, I had no problem letting my two year old run around.
Nice walk, easy parking free on the street, stairway to the beach, amazing sunset sunrise views, breath taking
