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.

Embark on a moderate 7.5-mile (12.1 km) hike along the iconic Southern California coastline, connecting two vibrant beach communities. This route offers continuous ocean views and the refreshing sea breeze as you walk, with only 69 feet (21 metres) of elevation gain over approximately 3 hours and 3 minutes. You will experience the lively atmosphere of the Venice Beach Boardwalk, known for its unique street performers and eclectic shops. The path is mostly flat and paved, making for a comfortable journey as you head towards the historic Santa Monica Pier, a landmark famous for its amusement park and the official end of Route 66.

Plan your visit to enjoy the best of this coastal trail. Parking is available in various lots near both Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier, though these can become quite busy, especially on weekends. The multi-use path is largely paved and accessible for most walkers. Be aware that some sections closer to Venice Beach might have sand on the concrete, which could be a minor inconvenience. Starting early in the morning or later in the afternoon can help you avoid the largest crowds.

This trail offers a unique blend of natural beauty and urban culture, making it a standout coastal experience. Beyond the main path, you can explore the picturesque Venice Canals, a charming residential area with European-inspired waterways. The route highlights the distinct character of both Venice Beach, with its bohemian spirit, and Santa Monica, known for its classic pier attractions. It's a perfect way to immerse yourself in the diverse beachfront life of Los Angeles.
