"Love visiting this place. I've been to California twice and made time to come here twice both visits. Tons of street vendors and shops all along the boardwalk. Clean beaches with lots of local culture. The beach is not dog friendly but the boardwalk and most shops are." Trip Advisor. Want to take a Segway Tour?? Book it here!
4.Venice Beach Walkways - Book a Tour!
"A Walk to Remember" - Most people head to Venice Beach while in the area. Many don't realize this little gem of a place is very close by. Just a few square blocks you can spend an hour or more leisurely walking up the hills or along the water. There are beautiful private residences along the water. The only issue is parking. Since it is a residential neighborhood and not an "attraction" per se, there is no parking lot specific to the site. You may have to pay to park at a private lot in the area and walk there. That was the only hassle....
5.Muscle Beach in Venice Beach- gotta see this website!
Muscle Beach was established on the beach area south of the Santa Monica Pier in 1933 as a part of a beachfront movement of gymnasts, acrobats and many other talented athletes who converged on a small section of the Santa Monica coastline.
Very soon it became so popular, that it became the most famous outdoor gym in the world – and is now known as springboard of the Physical Fitness Movement of the 20th Century. In 1951, 17 years later, the second most famous beachfront gym arrived – the Venice Beach “Weight Pen” – which eventually became known as today’s “Muscle Beach Venice”.
