Meet your guide in Los Angeles and board a comfortable van that transports you to the coast. Listen as your guide reveals fascinating facts about the beachside cities you’re about to visit during the drive. Your first stop is in Santa Monica, where you can go for a stroll along the famous pier that marks the end of historic Route 66. Explore the pier, checking out the many restaurants, amusement rides, games, and throngs of beach-goers that litter the area.

Next, jump back into the van and venture over to Venice Beach. Walk along the boardwalk, filled with an array of colorful performers and artists who display everything from sword-swallowing to juggling. After gawking at the insanely entertaining acts before you, feel free to shop at the numerous stores that line the sand. Sit on the beach, relax for a bit, soak up the sun, and then return to the van to head back to your meeting point.
