Pacific Park, Santa Monica Pier

Highlight • Structure

This section of bike path and trail passes underneath the famous Santa Monica Pier. It can be a little dark and damp, so it's best to slow down through here. If you wish, you can climb the stairs (or take a longer detour by road) up to the famous wooden pier. The Santa Monica Pier is located at the end of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California and marks the end of Route 66. It is a popular destination featuring a variety of attractions including the large solar-powered Ferris wheel, which is brightly lit and visible from afar at night. The pier offers many concession stands, shops, areas for fishing, and scenic views, making it great spot to stop as you ride around Los Angeles and Santa Monica.
