The number of homeless folks camped out was disturbing...the uniqueness of each home located beachside was beautiful as well as all the activites offered by the beach .

Rode from Malibu to Marina Del Ray and had such a great time. Lots of beach cafés for breaks, many clean washrooms along the path and they even provide locks so you can top and visit areas of interest such as the World famous Santa Monica Pier, Venice Beach... We rented bikes for the day ($18.00 payable at the end)... More

This path is a free for all. BIkers, stollers, joggers, walkers, homeless, tourists, all trying to use this path. You see an officer every so often but they are here to make sure no one threatens each other. Either just make it for leisurely walks or bikes, do not keep it as , it is very dangerous. Near misses are... More

We rented bikes at a place we came across that was in between the Third Street Promenade and the Santa Monica Pier. Bike rental cost us $25 each for a 4 hour rental. We were able to cover so much ground on the bikes, far more than we would have on foot. The beach is beautiful, of course. We biked... More

Wither your looking to bike for leisure or exercise this is the perfect place. The views of the pacific are awesome and the surrounding areas are great to see as well. Feel free to pace yourself and soak up some rays or put your pedal to the metal for a great sweat. There are several places along the route to... More

What a great way to spend a day at the beach. We rented two bikes in the morning and spent all day on this path. You get to see the whole area, stop where you want, see what you want to see and eat and drink where you want to do it. Along the way you are entrained by all... More

We rented Beach cruiser bikes for $15 dollars a piece and rode them for nearly 4 hours along the ocean. It was such a wonderful, enjoyable, (& easy!) ride along the designated bike path. The ocean was on one side, and the pedestrian boardwalk on the other side. It was safe--away from cars. It was the highlight of our trip!... More

Though I didn't get to explore the entire bike trail, the short rides between Santa Monica and Muscle Beach were worth the price of bike rentals. The path is well defined, and curves past skate boarding parks, cafes, and outdoor play structures. Very fun, like riding past an on-going carnival! I imagine it is worth exploring the entire 26 miles,... More

We rode from Will Rogers State park ( North of Santa Monica Pier) to Manhattan beach and thoroughly enjoyed every mile! Its coastline all the way with the exception of a few blocks on the road after Venice Pier but even then there is a marked bike lane. The route took us a couple of hours each way at a... More
