2 to 2.5 hours includes many 10 to 15 minute stops at attractions listed.
2 hoursSanta Monica Pier
Great photo op with the world-famous pier, ferris wheel and rollercoaster in the background.
15 minutes overlaps with and is part of time spent on the 26 miles bike path, SM state beach & Santa Monica bay.
*Note: bike riding is not permitted on the pier.
15 minutesAnnenberg Community Beach House
This is a spot where celebrities used to hang out and party. We swing by for a few quick stories.
15 minutes overlaps with longer attraction times and is part of the total 3 hour tour.
15 minutesVenice Beach
Venice Beach vibrates with activity. An original hippy hangout that still maintains an eclectic vibe and an anything goes attitude. We'll check out all the best attractions along the beach.
1 hour time overlaps with and is part of time spent on 26 mile bike path & Santa Monica bay.
1 hourVenice Beach Boardwalk
This is what everyone wants to see... VENICE. The Venice Beach bike path is parallel to the boardwalk. We ride along next to the boardwalk to view the vendor shops and eclectic people and all the coolest spots along the beach.
Listed times overlap for a total tour of 2.5 to 3 hours.
45 minutesVenice Skatepark
From morning until sunset you'll see gravity defying things. This is the #1 skatepark in California. See if you can get a shot of one of the skaters catching some air.
This 15 minutes overlaps with time spent on Venice beach and the boardwalk.
15 minutesVenice art walls
Legal graffiti park where the art comes and goes in a swirl of artistic street art talent. If you see a masterpiece that you love, get that photo now. It could be gone tomorrow.
5 minutesVenice Canals Walkway
The Venice canals are a hidden gem. Bicycle is the best way to see this quaint neighborhood. We'll show you why they call it Venice and tell you how these canals got here. I bet you'll want a photo.
20 minutes for the Canals pulls us away from the beach for a few blocks but that time is part of the 3 hour total time.
20 minutesMuscle Beach Venice Gym
Famous because Arnold Schwarzenegger used to work out here. Hear pop culture stories and view the body builders. Photo Op.
We don't actually enter the bodybuilder workout area but viewing is free. Feast your eyes :)

This 3 hours is the entire tour time and all other attraction times overlap within this 3 hours.
3 hoursSanta Monica Looff Hippodrome
This is the home of the Santa Monica carousel. One of the last wooden carousels in the world. A hand carved beauty. You've seen this building in movies and TV shows. We don't typically go inside but by request we can carve out time for a photo or a spin. Admission is included.

L.A.'s Iconic Lifeguard Towers
All along the beach standing like sentinels are the iconic lifeguard towers. You've seen them in movies, on the internet, in TV shows, commercials and more. We can appreciate them as we roll on by or by special request get close for a photo. You may get sand in your shoes or go barefoot for this shot.
