SMCM - Points of Interest

Any cool places to go ride, or check out, between the SM Pier and the Venice Sk8 ParK, or nearish those two?

Here's a list off the top of my head:
Ride on SM HS track
Ride on SMC track
Park on 4th south of Pico
Main St
Spiral Hill in park near the beach (where we had BMX races)
Playground along Bike Path
The Rings
The Carousel
Murals on Ocean Park underneath 4th st.

Is this for a day ride or night ride?

If it's a day ride, how can you possibly leave out the Camera Obscura on Ocean, one of the best I've seen!?
