If you like to bike and enjoy nature, go visit the bike path. There are rentals where you can rent bikes (solo, tandem, you name it). Along the way, we pass through many skateboard parks, volleyball courts, shops, and lovely houses. The view of the ocean is amazing.
Biggest problem is finding where the path continues going South once you get through Venice. It is not marked any place I could find.
Although I do not live in L.A., I keep a bicycle with a friend who lives in Venice Beach, and ride this route every time I can, when visiting So. Cal. Beautiful views, and a great and not too challenging ride.Rent a Bike. You will Love It!
Goes on forever. Beach on one side. Shops and attractions on the other. Brilliant idea. Makes the beach area more accessible.
This is a great trail, I love that fact pedestrians have one trail and bikes have another trail. A couple different places you have to dodge people but not too many. We started at Will Rogers State Beach and rode south. At Venice Pier the trail seems to end. To re-connect to the bike trail ride up Washington Blvd (you are sharing the road with cars) about 3 or 4 signals. At one of the lights, look to your ride and you will see the bike trail again. It was next to a green construction fence. Enjoy the ride.
You have to do this, just rent a bike and start peddling. I recommend Sea Mist Rentals near Santa Monica Pear, $18.00 dollars all day. Don't forget your camera!
Great ride along the beach to experience Santa Monica, Venice, Marina del Rey, Segundo Beach and Mahattan Beach! The ride is pretty flat so you can do it on a cruiser or a 10 speed bike.
Definitely have to do this. Amazing views and great way to see all the different areas around Santa Monica. This was my favourite thing I done when i was in LA. Wish I was back there on the bikes. Truly amazing experience.
If you are looking for that typical SoCal life then this is the place to be. Tourists and locals flock to this path for its amazing views and fabulous location. You'll be dodging all sorts of human obstacles like bikes, strollers, scooters, skaters, walkers, runners, children playing and just about anything else you may or may not expect at the beach.
Great path very quiet early in the morning. We went from Santa Monica to Venice Beach. Enjoyed it a lot!
