Put this stop into a day out
A shorter out-and-back for a relaxed beach morning. Begin by the pier, follow the northern beach path, and make the Annenberg Community Beach House your reason to stop. The riding portion is modest; the extra time is for the destination, a drink of water and the return at your own pace.
Open the route mapTake the longer view of the coastline. This outing links the Beach House access, Santa Monica Pier and Venice Skate Park, then returns along the same coastal corridor. It is a longer version of our two shorter rides, with time to settle into a rhythm and choose a couple of stops.
