26-mile bike path

可以在那么漂亮的地方骑脚踏车，慢跑，晒太阳实在是太幸福了，这边的人特别热情，就跟这海滩的气氛一样，充满欢笑，其实即使是什么事都不做，光做在这边晒晒太阳聊天，看着沙滩和骑车的人就是很大的享受了。

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.

Great path very quiet early in the morning. We went from Santa Monica to Venice Beach. Enjoyed it a lot!

We rented bikes and spent the whole day! Great fun riding from one beach to the next. Be careful in the busy areas around the Pier and Venice Beach. Lots of pedestrians make maneuvering the pathway challenging. Stop at Venice Beach and lock up your bikes and shop and eat at all the vendors. You may even see a glass walker!

Great way to really get to know coastal LA.Be careful around the busy hubs where pedestrians and bikes meet, especially around Manhattan Beach, and Hermosa.....where you either need to lift your bike up a few stairs, or ride on the street behind the beach

Biggest problem is finding where the path continues going South once you get through Venice. It is not marked any place I could find.

Pedestrians have taken over the bike paths and the police are not doing anything about it. Bikers have little or no space to ride and pedestrians are rude and have overblown senses of entitlement.It's another good idea gone wrong because of lack of supervision and enforcement.

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!

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!

Goes on forever. Beach on one side. Shops and attractions on the other. Brilliant idea. Makes the beach area more accessible.

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 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.

It's so easy to hire a bike and see the sights that way. The path is flat so the ride is easy and you can stop and eat and drink along the path. You can even do something strenuous when you get to Muscle Beach!.

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.
