I had a lovely afternoon cycling down to Venice Beach and back. The cycle path is very good and runs for miles and is clearly indicated. Well worth doing.
This is a really long trail that is gives you a scenic easy ride. There are no real hills and dips so cycling along the trail is very easy breezy.
Went all the way to Venice Beach but did not like Venice Beach too much. Santa Monica was by far the nicest beach and great fun.
Hired bikes with the kids and cycled to Venice. Only took ten to fifteen minutes and proved a great way to see the boardwalk and its eccentricities.
The trail runs mostly along the marina and beaches in the South Bay. It is safe and very scenic. You can rent a bike in teh Fisherman's Village in Marina Del Rey.
They rent out different types of bicycles there. The path is not difficult at all. Pretty flat. The view of the water, the beach, the people there make the experience interesting. The sun and the breeze you feel on your skin is relaxing.
I had just quit smoking. I was worried about taking a bike for a 15-20 minutes continuous ride. However, the bikes are extremely user friendly, that you don't feel you lost breath. The bikes we took were for $25/ 2 hrs. The view is nothing short of breathtaking & the entire ride is as smooth as Harvey Specter's hair.
so much fun and busy all the time..enjoyed it a lot. friendly outgoing people all just trying to have a healthy good time
I had a great time here last weekend. Really nice views during certain parts, and not as concentrated with people as Santa Monica.
We cycled the whole route and hired our bikes for $8 an hour, we hired them for 2 hours twice and had a great time, there are lots of cafés on route so hire a bike chain, we can highly recommend doing this as it's also great fun.
