The Strand – Bicycle Beach Path   One of the most fun things to do on vacation in Southern California is bike ride on the Santa Monica beach path. The bicycle path also known as “The Strand” starts at Will Rogers State Beach and travels through all of the South Bay beach communities and 2 harbors: Marina del Rey, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach and King Harbor at Redondo Beach. The bike path ends about 2 miles past the South end of Redondo Beach Pier in Torrance. Depending upon where you park, the distance can be as much as 40 miles round trip – a good all-day workout with terrific views! The bike path runs both ways so starting here in MB, HB or RB is the way to GO!!!
