South Bay Bike Path at Dockweiler State Beach

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The South Bay Bike Path is a 22-mile paved trail running from Will Rogers State Beach to Torrance County Beach, mostly along the beach with a few short sections on city streets. The 14-foot-wide trail is shared by cyclists, runners, skaters, wheelchair riders, and pedestrians. Riders can travel to all piers and Venice Beach's Strand. Rental stands along the path offer bicycles, rollerblades, and scooters. The path is generally smooth, despite being busy, and sometimes sandy after wind blowing. Traveling the trail in a manual wheelchair or skateboard is mostly obstacle-free.
