Lonely Planet review

Perhaps it's appropriate that Route 66, America's most romanticized by-way, ends at this gorgeous cliffside park perched dramatically on the edge of the continent. Just pretend you don't see all the beggars. Stretching 1½ miles north from the pier, this palm-dotted greenway is tops with joggers and people-watchers.

For turn-of-the-20th-century thrills, grab a key to the tower-bound Camera Obscura (1450 Ocean Ave; Senior Recreation Center) for a few spins of an old captain's wheel that gives inverted-mirror views of the park below.
