From the pier, you can rent a beach cruiser at a nearby bicycle livery and hop on the 26-Mile Bike Path, which runs parallel to the ocean for the first 3 miles.Downtown, the palm-tree-lined outdoor pedestrian mall called Third Street Promenade is home to retailers such as Burberry, Kate Spade, and Madewell. This colorful stretch of shops is interspersed with at least 20 movie theaters and playhouses. Around the corner, you’ll find independent boutiques, cafes, bakeries, and more along Montana Avenue.
