It’s a quick peek behind the curtain of Hollywood’s business side—slick, sleek, and full of behind-the-scenes power.
- 200 Santa Monica Pier - Pass by the Iconic Santa Monica Pier
After cruising through Century City, head west toward the coast for a scenic drive past the iconic Santa Monica Pier. With its classic Ferris wheel, bustling boardwalk, and views stretching toward Malibu, it’s one of LA’s most photographed landmarks. Snap a quick shot from the van as you roll along the coast—your final stop at Venice Beach is just ahead.
-
Venice Beach - Soak Up the Scene at Venice Beach
Your final stop of the day lands you at Venice Beach—LA’s most eclectic and colorful coastal hangout. Watch skaters throw tricks at the world-famous skatepark, see bodybuilders pump iron at Muscle Beach, or just stroll the boardwalk and take in the sights, sounds, and street performers.
