A Curated Route Along the Santa Monica and Venice Coastline

Bikes and Hikes LA’s Santa Monica and Venice Beach bike tour begins at a scenic beachfront meeting point in Santa Monica, one of the most iconic starting locations on the entire California coast. Set right at the edge of the sand at the north end of Santa Monica Beach, our meeting point places guests directly on the Marvin Braude Bike Trail, the legendary 22-mile coastal path that connects the Westside’s beach communities. Exact meeting point details are provided in your booking confirmation.

From the very start of the tour, guests are surrounded by classic Southern California scenery. The location offers sweeping views of Santa Monica Bay, the Santa Monica Pier in the distance, and the bluffs of Palisades Park rising above, setting the tone for a visually rich Los Angeles bike tour through one of the most fascinating parts of the city.

Why Take a Santa Monica Bike Tour?

A bike tour is one of the best ways to experience Santa Monica because you can cover more ground than walking while still feeling connected to the beach, the breeze, and the neighborhoods around you. Instead of just stopping at the Pier for a photo, you’ll ride through the places that make this part of Los Angeles famous – from ocean views and beach paths to local history, celebrity stories, and classic California culture.

The Marvin Braude Bike Trail is a 22-mile paved coastal bike path running between Will Rogers State Beach and Torrance Beach, making this area ideal for a scenic beach ride.
