Take a Ride Along the Beach
Come join us as we experience the South Bay Bicycle Train. The South Bay Bicycle Trail is a 22-mile paved path that runs from Will Rogers State Beach to Torrance County Beach. Most of the trail is on the beach, although a few sections are on city streets (ie: section that circumvents Marina Del Rey). The trail connects to all the piers and the Strand in Venice Beach. Bicyclists, joggers, skaters, wheelchair riders, and pedestrians all share the trail, which is 14 feet wide (in most places) with a smooth asphalt or concrete surface.
