Loma Linda is in a desert valley situated between parched hills and the I-10 freeway, nestled under a blanket of perpetual smog.
This is a criminal abuse of zoomed-out maps and a negligently written article. A more accurate representation of LL’s “seaside” location: https://www.google.com/maps/place/Loma+Linda,+CA/@34.0389499,-117.2480222,12z/data=!4m6!3m5!1s0x80dcab92206e4d73:0xcd1f51ac8ed3b285!8m2!3d34.0483474!4d-117.2611527!16zL20vMHI0a3A https://www.google.com/maps/place/Loma+Linda,+CA/@34.0389499...
It might have more to do with the strict lifestyle choices than the sights and sounds of the sea an hour drive away.

- kaycebasques 3y agoIt took me a while to figure out how your comment connects to the submitted article, but I think I've got it now. The article is advocating for blue zones, and Loma Linda is a designated blue zone. Is that right?
- Ireallyapart 3y agoLoma Linda is a bluezone because of diet and community. They are very far away from the ocean. The environment their is more desert rather then Mediterranean climate. How do I know? I live in LA county about a couple miles due west of loma linda. That city is really inland and not considered to be near the ocean at all.
