Residents can take a step toward better mental and physical health this fall through the Long Beach Island Health Department’s free community “Walk for Wellness” series.

The 1.5-mile walks will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Cedar Bonnet Island Park, located just off the south side of the Causeway Bridge on Bonnet Island. The walks are scheduled every Friday, beginning Sept. 11 up to and including Oct. 16.
