View of the sunset from Palisades Park

Highlight • Viewpoint

Great views from the wide park high above the cliffs. The trail along the beach at the bottom of the cliffs is a nice option to loop back.

Santa Monica Pier

Highlight • Structure

The legendary amusement park jutting out on the Pier has its own museum harking back to the glory days of fairground attractions.

Tip by

The Marvin Braude Bike Path in Santa Monica is a paved, 22-mile path from Rogers Park in the Pacific Pallisades in the North to Torrance Beach in South Bay. The path is either right on the beach or just runs along the top of it. There are ample opportunities to join the path at any point to make it as long or as short as you want. Simply a great run.

Ocean Front Walk (Venice Beach)

Highlight (Segment) • Trail

Great trail for a walk or run. It follows along the beach and gives you great views of the water. Make sure not to run on the Venice Beach Bike Path, as that is meant for bikes only.

Venice Beach Boardwalk

Highlight (Segment) • Beach

Adjacent south of Santa Monica on the Pacific Coast Highway is Venice Beach. The community was born in 1905 and developed by eccentric millionaire Abbot Kinney, who shaped the site after his favorite Italian city - complete with piazzas and canals. You can still see these canals with quaint, traditional cottages in the Venice Canal Historic District.
