Vacation Inspiration & ItinerariesPlan Your Perfect Getaway

Some trips are built around schedules. This one is built around moments. A morning by the ocean, an easy ride down the coast, the energy of a Venice fan zone, and a return to Santa Monica just in time for sunset. From The Pierside, everything flows. The beach is steps away. Venice is a short ride south. And with a complimentary one-hour e-bike rental included, getting there becomes part of the experience.

Some trips ask you to choose between energy and ease. This one does not. Spend the day in flip-flops, catch the coast between plans, then head into Los Angeles for the night’s big atmosphere.
