This is an interesting area near the Los Angeles Airport, combining a unique and scenic trail along Ballona Creek and wetlands and a run along the beach in Playa Del Ray. There are numerous scenic options here:
Ballona Creek Wetlands to Dockweiler Beach. This route of up to 5.2 miles is very scenic. Start in the section of the paved Ballona Creek Bike Path in the Ballona Welands Reserve. Run for 1.4 miles west along the path, through scenic wetlands, and then run south for up to 3.8 miles on a section of the Marvin Braude/Strand promenade path along Playa del Rey Beach and Dockweiler Beach. This part is a classic beach boardwalk path. This route ends at W. Grand Ave.
Add-On: More Beachside Running. Continue further south on the Marvin Braude/Strand promenade path along Manhattan Beach & Hermosa Beach for up to 4.5 miles to the King Harbor Marina.
Add-On: Ballona Creek Bike Path. From the wetlands, you can continue east toward Culver City on the path. It’s up to 5.3 miles east to Syd Kronenthal Park in east Culver City.
