Yes ! There are not only highways in L.A., but also miles of beaches that you can cover by bike, rollerblades, segway and which you can also reach since the end of May by metro. In Santa Monica, the endpoint of the famous Route 66, stroll along Ocean Avenue and stop at the very chic Casa del Mar or Shutters on the Beach to admire the sunset. At neighboring Venice Beach, a change of atmosphere and guaranteed spectacle between surfers, skateboarders, Muscle Beach bodybuilders and street dancers. A stone's throw away, shop on Abbot Kinney Bvd, gaze at the most beautiful frescoes on every street corner and stroll along canals copied from Venice (without the gondolas...). Santa Monica and Venice Beach are also nicknamed
“Silicon Beach” but not necessarily for redone breasts:the climate and coolness have brought the nerds from San Francisco. Google, Yahoo, Snapshat and Airbnb have taken up residence there. Cooler, you die…
