Sobre este Tip
The Marvin Braude Bike Trail, known as the Strand, is a paved 22-mile path along the Santa Monica Bay and is open year-round. The classic stretch runs from Santa Monica through Venice, where pedestrian-friendly forks let walkers move at their own pace. Bring or rent a bike, start early on weekends, and walk your bike where it gets busy, for example near the Redondo Beach pier. On clear days you can see Catalina Island.
