Get outside and make some moves this summer because The Strand is calling your name. If you've never heard of "The Strand", allow us to explain — right out front of our hotel is a great walking, running, and biking path that is right along the sandy beaches of the Pacific Ocean. This iconic path stretches between Santa Monica Pier and Venice Beach. If you decided to hang out on The Strand, you can expect to pass through Muscle Beach, the Venice Beach Skate Park, and an assortment of restaurants and shops. In our opinion, The Strand is the best spot for people-watching and a great place to get in some outdoor exercise. If you're the more adventurous type, roller-skates and skateboards are available for rent along The Strand and make for a great photo-op! Adventure like a local and hang a left out of the hotel, a right at the first light, and follow the crowd straight to the pier — just a few more steps and you will find the infamous Strand!
