Back to Los AngelesLos Angeles In-line Skating

The 22-mile-long South Beach Trail that runs from Pacific Palisades to Torrance is one of the premier skating spots in the country. In-line skating is especially popular, but conventional skates are often seen here, too. Skating is allowed just about everywhere bicycling is, but be advised that cyclists have the right of way. Spokes 'N Stuff, 4175 Admiralty Way, Marina del Rey (tel. 310/306-3332; open weekends only), is just one of many places to rent wheels near the Venice portion of Ocean Front Walk. In the South Bay, in-line skate rentals are available 1 block from the Strand at Hermosa Cyclery, 20 13th St. (tel. 310/374-7816; www.hermosacyclery.com). Skates cost $6 per hour ($18 for the day); kneepads and wrist guards come with every rental.
