Itinerary
Let us transport you from your point of origin to the glorious beaches of West Los Angeles: Venice Beach, Santa Monica, and Malibu. On this extensive tour you will stroll the famous Third Street Promenade, the instantly recognizable Santa Monica Pier with its attendant amusement park, the offbeat weirdness of the Boardwalk at Venice Beach, the weight pens of Muscle Beach and some delightful beach homes, all under the purple hazy backdrop of the hills of Malibu.
The port is North America's largest man-made small-craft harbor and is home to approximately 5,000 boats.

Land activities include bicycling on several bicycle paths, walking paths along the waterfront, and birdwatching (birding).
