The beach bike path was a lot of fun, there is a lot of foot traffic in areas but overall it is much safer than the roads. Watch out as there are a lot of people who are not paying any attenetion when they cross. I almost ran over a few people who never looked before trying to cross. The... More

My daughter and I rode from the Santa Monica Pier past Venice Beach and it was a wonderful time. The path seemed to be well maintained. My 17 year old daughter said this was actually at the top of her list of fun things she did while in California! There were plenty of bathroom stops and water fountains spread along... More

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 .
