The Marvin Braude Bike Trail (also known as the Beach Bike Path, Coastal Bike Trail, The Strand, or the South Bay Bicycle Trail) is a 22-mile (35 km) paved bicycle path that runs mostly along the shoreline of Santa Monica Bay in Los Angeles County, California. The coastal bike trail is widely acknowledged as Los Angeles’ “most popular bike path.” The path “leads cyclists past colorful piers, lively crowds, and beach vistas unseen by automobile travelers.” County officials reported that at the time the trail was completed (in 1989), as many as 10,000 people a day used the route.
