Blue Zones Project is a community health initiative introduced in the South Bay through Beach Cities Health District in 2010. In 2016, the Beach Cities (Hermosa Beach, Manhattan Beach & Redondo Beach) became a certified Blue Zones Community®. Through innovative partnerships with local organizations, restaurants and grocery stores like Lazy Acres Market in Hermosa Beach, Blue Zones Project empowers people to make healthier choices inspired by places around the world where people live to 100.

The Pier Room at Lazy Acres Market is officially open for cooking classes!
