Cycling

The 16,000 sq. foot skate park was opened and expanded in 2009 and is said to be the only skate park in the world that is located directly on the sea. The design was created by local skaters and professional skaters and was supplemented with a street section in addition to the bowls. The skate park was built in 10 months and cost $3.5 million to build.

Venice Beach to Santa Monica Pier loop

12.1km

03:04

20m

This Venice Beach to Santa Monica Pier walking route offers a quintessential Southern California experience, blending lively beach culture with expansive ocean views. You'll stroll along a mostly flat, paved path, transitioning from the eclectic energy of Venice Beach, with its street performers and the famous Venice Skatepark, to the classic amusement park charm of the Santa Monica Pier. Expect continuous sea breezes and a dynamic backdrop of beach life, making for a memorable coastal journey.

Planning your visit is straightforward, though starting early in the morning or later in the afternoon is recommended to avoid peak crowds, especially on weekends. The trail is easily accessible, but parking can be tricky in both Venice and Santa Monica, so exploring public transport options might save you some hassle. This moderate 7.5-mile (12.1 km) loop, with only 69 feet (21 metres) of elevation gain, typically takes around 3 hours and 3 minutes, making it a great option for a relaxed day out.

What makes this trail truly stand out is its seamless connection between two distinct, iconic beach communities. It's not just a walk; it's an immersion into Los Angeles' vibrant coastal scene, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and urban culture. You'll pass historic landmarks like the Santa Monica Pier, which also marks the end of Route 66, and experience the lively atmosphere of the Venice Beach Boardwalk, making it a fantastic choice for a family-friendly outing.
