Tips from locals
Great hiking trail around the lagoon for an afternoon walk. Arched bridge to cross lagoon is at Lighthouse Street a few blocks from where you are staying.
Follow the trail that runs along the water... great for a morning or evening walk or run.
The Ballona Lagoon is a marine preserve. There are 2.4 miles of trails to walk around, with information boards periodically placed for visitors.
Just down the street, on the way to the beach. Look for ducks, blue heron and cranes.
