Confirmed from Playa Del Rey Beach Walking Bike Trail's own listing, the park or land manager's website, and runner reviews. Blank cells mean we could not verify that fact — we would rather say "not reported" than invent one. There is no Easy / Moderate / Hard rating on this page on purpose: a one-word difficulty score tells you nothing about whether a trail suits your run. Surface, distance, shade and hours do.

“The coastal trail is surrounded by sand, surf, open ocean and beautiful views!”

This bike path is the greatest! I love it for the location, with the ability to safely park a vehicle, take the bike and head out along the coast or inland LA and Culver City! The coastal trail is surrounded by sand, surf, open ocean and beautiful views!

★★★★★ — Jim , Jul 2023

I enjoyed this walking/biking trail for a number of reasons. It’s close to the ocean so great surf sound and a cool breeze blowing off the ocean. Benches are strategically placed along the trail to rest at. Restroom are a further distance but still convenient.

★★★★★ — Charles , Jul 2022

So cool! We have been traveling the country in an RV, and riding bikes along the beach bike trail has been the highlight of the trip. I wish the part that goes around Marina Del Rey didn't put us on the road with the cars, but the beach bike ride makes up for it. Highly recommended.

★★★★★ — Chris , Jun 2024

Beautiful scenic coastal setting for walking or biking. Great ocean views and perfect spot for a relaxing trip. You can bring all your family and friends, even your dogs. There’s always a nice cool breeze. Always be aware because the trail is shared with pedestrians and bikes.

Trail conditions & character

What this trail is actually like underfoot and overhead, taken from its own listing and from reviews. Each one links to every other trail with the same character. Busy or quiet is reported as a plain fact, not a plus or a minus — a runner heading out alone at dawn often wants company on the path, and someone running intervals wants an empty one.
