About us
The LB Edge: Long Beach is too big to explore alone.
Explore the Best of Long Beach. One Unique Adventure at a Time.
WEEKLY EVENTS!
Hi, I’m Kimberly, a local Realtor, 10-year Long Beach resident, and Head Explorer of The LB Edge. I started this group 3 years ago because even after living here for years, I realized there were still so many spots, experiences, and hidden gems I had not tried. I wanted to build a group for people who actually want to get out, do interesting things, and make real connections in the process.
The LB Edge is for adults who want more than just another generic meetup. This group is about unique local experiences, good conversation, and meeting people who are fun, social, and genuinely interested in exploring the city.
We focus on events that feel engaging, memorable, and worth leaving the house for. Sometimes that means trying a new spot, doing something a little different, or pairing one experience with another. The point is not just to attend something. It is to connect while doing it.
Events start with a quick Fun Fact Circle to break the ice and make meeting people easier.
Who: Adults ( 18 + only) who want to explore Long Beach, try new things, and meet other social, curious people. This group will probably feel like a good fit if you like good conversation, a little adventure, and doing something more interesting than sitting at home scrolling.
What: Unique and engaging experiences in Long Beach and nearby areas. Some events are active, some are relaxed, some are quirky, and some are just a great excuse to finally check out that place you have been meaning to try. We do all kinds of events! Beach outings, skating, yoga, tourist attractions, trivia, music, museums and aquariums, bingo, movies, axe throwing, full moon walks, and more!
Where: Mostly Long Beach, with occasional outings nearby.
When: Events are for the most part weekly and have between 15-60 attendees! Most events happen on weeknights, with some weekend events mixed in.
What to Expect: A group that values connection, curiosity, and actually interacting. This is not about showing up and standing around awkwardly. It is about having a shared experience that makes conversation easier and friendships more likely to happen.
*Please note that since many of these events have a limited number of spots, those who no-show to 3 or more events will be removed from the group. This helps keep spots open for people who genuinely want to attend.
The best way to get to know people here is simple: come regularly.
See you at the next adventure.

Food Festival🍕🍖🧁 on 2nd Street!
Bank of America (Belmont Shore), 5101 E 2nd St, Long Beach, CA, USIf you've been overwhelmed by the choices of food on 2nd Street. This is your chance to get a taste of everything! Let's check out Stroll and Savor as a group. This is a free event, but tastings do cost money. We will need to secure our tickets at the Chase Bank, and then we will start walking the street. Will also be able to catch live bands and do a little shopping along the way. The following is from their website.
https://www.belmontshore.org/strollandsavor🎟 How It Works:
Purchase tasting tickets in front of Chase Bank beginning at 4:00 PM, then use those tickets to redeem samples served directly from participating restaurants throughout the district.
Tasting tickets are sold in sheets of:
18 tickets for $20 or 12 tasting tickets for $15
Food samples range from 1–7 tickets, with most items averaging around 4 tickets each—making it a great way to explore and Sample the Shore.
Whether you come for tacos, dessert, cocktails, sushi, burgers, pasta, or something completely unexpected, there’s always something new waiting around the next corner.
Bring your friends, and yes—even your dogs (we’ll have treats for them too).Food is normally purchased on the street. You can watch the video below for more information.

There isn't really a place to sit down so be prepared to be on your feet and walk hence the name!Where we meet: We will meet at the parking lot in the Bank of America on 5101 2nd St. We will do a few get to know you and then head across the street to get our tickets at the Chase Bank parking lot.
Parking is TOUGH. I would recommend Uber/Lift.
Dress: this is an outdoor event so dress appropriately!this is an outdoor event so dress appropriately.
We will be constantly moving during this event. If you are late, we will not be able to wait for you.
See ya soon!

45 Min Sunrise 🌅 Morning Walk 🚶♀️🚶 at the Beach 🌊
Galaxy Towers, 2999 E Ocean Blvd, Long Beach, CA, USWe meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday each month! Let’s start the day with friends, fresh air, and an ocean view. 🌊☀️ This is a feel-good morning walk where we’ll take in the scenery, get a little nature time, and ease into the day with good company. We’ll walk at a comfortable, steady pace and cover about 2 miles in around an hour.
We’ll do quick get-to-know-you intros for the first 5 minutes (up to 10 minutes if we have a bigger group), then we’ll head out no later than 7:05–7:10 AM. Yes, 7 AM! Please arrive a few minutes early so we can start on time.
We’ll walk on the sand by the water if conditions allow. If the tide makes the sand too soft, we’ll switch to the path, but we’ll try for the water’s edge first.
Come for the ocean view, and the chance to meet some great people. 👟🌿
Sidenote, dogs are technically not allowed on the beach where we walk, but if you want to bring your dog, I have no problem with it. But if you get a ticket, you can't blame me! I usually bring my dog. 🐶
We usually meet on the 1st and 3rd Friday each month but occasionally change the date due to holidays, so always check to make sure an event is happening.Meet-up spot: On the grass, next to the Galaxy Towers at the corner of Orizaba Ave & Ocean Blvd
Parking: Street parking on Ocean, plus plenty of neighborhood street parking nearby (around 1st & Orizaba)
See ya soon!
