Experience the quintessential Southern California coast on a touring bicycle, following a paved path that stretches for 30.5 miles (49.1 km). This moderate route offers continuous ocean views, taking you past the lively Santa Monica Pier and the vibrant energy of Venice Beach. You will gain 599 feet (183 metres) in elevation over an estimated 2 hours and 50 minutes, making it a rewarding ride for most cyclists. Feel the ocean breeze as you pedal, enjoying the unique atmosphere of each coastal community.
Given its popularity, especially on weekends, you should expect significant pedestrian and cyclist traffic along the path. Areas like Venice Beach can be particularly busy, so be prepared to slow down and navigate carefully. If you do not have your own bike, rentals are readily available near the Santa Monica Pier and at various points along the route, making access easy. Consider an early morning start to enjoy fewer crowds and cooler temperatures.
This route is part of the longer Marvin Braude Bike Trail, offering a comprehensive tour of the iconic Los Angeles coastline.

The trail provides a unique perspective on these famous coastal landmarks, connecting them seamlessly for a memorable touring cycling experience.
