Santa Monica Pier & Route 66 End of the Trail

Highlight • Monument

The Beach bike trail winds its way through the one of California's most well known amusement parks: Santa Monica Pier is one of the biggest attractions and the landmark of the California city of Santa Monica. It starts from Colorado Avenue and stretches across the public Santa Monica State Beach into the Pacific Ocean. At the same time it forms the terminus of the famous Route 66, which originates in Chicago and winds through the western desert heartland to end in what at the time was the incarnation of the American dreamland.

Beach Green is a well-groomed grassy lawn shaded by elegant palm trees with picnic tables along the promenade and bike path, with great ocean views on Venice Beach. The street artists and lively scene at the promenade is just a few steps away, but this little park is usually a welcome oasis of quiet in all the bustle nearby.
