Ready for a delightful coastal walk along the scenic beaches of Los Angeles? Our WeWard user, Nanou, shared this refreshing route that will leave you feeling energized and inspired. Starting from Venice Beach, the walk takes you through some of the most picturesque spots in the city, perfect for enjoying a relaxing stroll by the water. Whether you’re a fan of dolphins, birds, or simply love feeling the ocean breeze, this walk has it all. 🌊🐬
The route kicks off at the famous Venice Beach Pier, where you can feel the cool ocean breeze from the Pacific as the waves gently roll in. The golden sand stretches out before you as you begin your adventure, with pelicans soaring overhead and the sound of distant laughter filling the air. As you continue walking, you’ll pass by playful dogs chasing waves and kids splashing joyfully in the shallow waters. Keep an eye on the horizon—if you’re lucky, you might spot dolphins or even a whale! 🐋
As you approach the Santa Monica Pier, the lively atmosphere of this iconic spot will greet you. The vibrant Ferris wheel and roller coaster provide a stark contrast to the calm of the ocean, creating a unique blend of peace and excitement. By walking or hiking, take a moment to soak in the view, maybe snap a few pictures 📸, and enjoy the bustling energy that Santa Monica is known for. 🚶♂️
Highlights and Tips: This route is truly a feast for the senses, with stunning blue water on one side and the vast sandy beach on the other. Don’t miss the sight of sailboats gliding gracefully across the water or the occasional plane soaring overhead. With seagulls and pelicans keeping you company, the natural beauty of the area is undeniable. The best times to visit? Nanou recommends sunrise or sunset for breathtaking views, but honestly, this walk is perfect any time of day! 🌅
One thing to be aware of: along the route, you might encounter patches of seaweed and seashells. But, as Nanou humorously noted, these small obstacles are all part of the charm. 😉
For those planning to take this walk, adaptable for those who want to exercise, comfy shoes are a must, and don’t forget your sunscreen! Nanou’s top advice? Enjoy the breeze, step by step, and let yourself be immersed in the beauty of the beach. You’ll find both Venice Beach and Santa Monica Pier provide ideal stopping points for a break, whether to relax or grab a quick snack.
