Santa Monica and Venice Beach Tour from Los Angeles

Your beach tour begins in central Los Angeles, where your guide joins you. Hop in your coach and head to the famous Santa Monica Pier, the point which marks the end of the old Route 66.

Stroll around the sunny waterfront as your guide provides historical background on the amusement rides. Continue by foot to the open-air district of the Third Street Promenade, where you can window shop as you pass boutiques and popular stores.

Afterward, hop back in the car and drive to the Venice Beach Boardwalk. This celebrated area is truly a treat for the senses, as you pass street performers and eccentric shops and bars while the Pacific Ocean sparkles in the background. Learn about the celebrities who have frequented these offbeat streets, such as Jim Morrison, who resided here during the heart of the counterculture.

Then pass through Malibu, soaking up stunning views of the ocean and enjoy complimentary chips and bottled water on board. Your tour concludes at your original departure point.
