LA 2028 zone guide

Venice

Venice Beach provides the postcard backdrop of the Games: the marathon start on the boardwalk and beachside action along one of LA's most famous stretches of sand.

Getting there

Take the E Line to Downtown Santa Monica and continue south by bus, bike, or a beachfront walk. Big Blue Bus routes run along the coast.

Where to stay

Venice and Santa Monica hotels are steps from the sand but priced accordingly. Mar Vista and Culver City — both near the E Line — are more affordable bases nearby.

Area guidance only — we don't recommend specific hotels or take accommodation commissions.
