Sunset Boulevard is one of Los Angeles' most famous roads, immortalized in pop culture after the 1950 feature film Sunset Boulevard, its subsequent Andrew Lloyd Webber musical adaptation, and the 1950s television show 77 Sunset Strip.
he boulevard stretches throughout the central and western portions of Los Angeles County, between downtown Los Angeles and the Pacific Coast Highway. Visitors can experience Los Angeles' classic scenery and atmosphere cruising along the boulevard, passing sites such as the famed Hollywood High School, Chateau Marmont, and the Self-Realization Fellowship Lake Shrine, a meditation temple that was a favorite spot of Elvis Presley and George Harrison.
A number of upscale retailers, bistros, and nightlife spots are also located along the boulevard, which ends at Sunset Beach and the UCLA Westwood campus. For exploration without a vehicle, portions of the boulevard are walkable, and the entire route is traversed by the city's 2/302 bus line.
