The longest beach path of its kind in the world, the trail stretches 22 miles from Malibu to the north to Torrance in the south. This magnificent bike trail is one of the most popular free, public athletic amenities in all of California. The trail, which is open to most non-motorized wheeled conveyance, offers riders an extensive sampling of Southern California beaches and beach culture.

Along the path, just south of Santa Monica, cyclists will encounter the famous and entertaining phenomenon of Venice Beach, with its unique mix of vendors, artists, street performers, workout facilities and beachgoers. South of Venice Beach, the trail loops inland around the yacht basin of Marina del Rey and Playa del Rey, then back to the ocean to pass along Dockweiler State Beach and behind Los Angeles International Airport.

It continues past El Porto Beach, Manhattan State Beach (there are two side-by-side paths here, one for walking and jogging and the other for biking and skating), Hermosa Beach and ends just south of Redondo State Beach.
