Healthy living in Los Angeles is a delight with biking trails like the Marvin Braude Bike Way. The scenic path takes riders along the coast from Santa Monica Boulevard down past Torrance Boulevard. Of course, plenty of eateries are available along the way to replenish and nourish bikers, with cuisines ranging from exotic to comforting American favorites.

Los Angeles residents sometimes forget that they live amidst stunning natural beauty. Bordered on the west by over 100 miles of Pacific coast and on the east by verdant mountains, Los Angeles residents can ski and surf in the same day.
