Coastline Bliss: Electric Beach Cruiser Ride from Marina del Rey to Venice & Santa Monica

Set your throttle to the ocean and glide: the Electric Beach Cruiser from Beachside Bikes is a low-effort way to see the best of Los Angeles’s shoreline. Based at Beachside located at 3616 Highland Ave in Marina del Rey, this e-bike rental puts you directly onto the Marvin Braude Bike Trail, with easy access north to Santa Monica and south toward Manhattan Beach. The route stitches together a working harbor, broad sandy beaches, and a belt of palm-lined promenade where people-watchers and skaters share the pavement.

What makes the ride special is its contrast: in five minutes you’ll move from bobbing sailboats in the Marina del Rey harbor to the eccentric energy of Venice Beach—the Venice Canals, the skateboarders at Venice Skate Park, and Ocean Front Walk’s street performers. The e-cruiser’s step-through frame and electric assist turn hillside effort into easy cruising, so the focus becomes looking around: the Pacific’s flat blue, occasional coastal bluffs, and the harbor’s man-made breakwaters that shape local tides.

Expect accessible infrastructure—segregated bike lanes for stretches and the continuous Marvin Braude Trail—but also urban cues: crosswalks, bike traffic, and frequent intersections with beach parking. Take time to detour into Fisherman’s Village for waterfront views and toward the historic Venice Canals, a 1905 development by Abbot Kinney that remains one of LA’s most surprising urban waterways. The Santa Monica Pier is a classic photo finish, its Ferris wheel a bright punctuation against the ocean.

This rental suits a broad range of riders: older adults, families, visitors who want long-range mileage without the strain. Operators provide helmets, locks, and a quick demo—park staff at check-out will fit you up and review safety. Options range from quick 1-hour loops to full-day coastal runs; attachable toddler trailers are available for families.

Practical tips: arrive 15 minutes early to complete check-in and bring an ID; note that rental time starts at your booking slot. The company asks riders under 18 to wear helmets and to be accompanied by guardians. Insurance is optional; customers are responsible for damage or theft unless coverage is purchased.

Why book it? The Electric Beach Cruiser is travel by feeling—salt air, palm shadows, and an effortless motor that hands you the coastline. It’s not just a rental; it’s the fastest, most scenic way to turn a single day in Marina del Rey into a multi-stop, car-free exploration of LA’s most iconic beaches. Bookings are flexible with one-hour starts up to multi-day rentals, and staff can map custom routes for photography, sightseeing, or longer fitness loops. For visitors avoiding a car, the e-cruiser is a low-carbon way to travel the Los Angeles shoreline while keeping the rhythm of the day yours and helping protect nearby coastal habitats.
