Venice Beach Boardwalk

One the most unique places I've ever been! Had a really sucessful photoshoot here and the boardwalk is always lively and entertaining! Parking can get a bit crazy during weekends though

I love walking from Marina del rey to Venice Beach . Usually parking is all full in Venice so easier to park further down and enjoy the walk.

seriously one of the best people watching spot! lots of tourists & locals. fun place but bring baby wipes or sanitizer.. bathroom is grosssss~ rent a bike n ride all the way to santa monica♡

Enjoy all the shops & restaurants early, before all the crowds arrive. Bring or rent a bike . Take a trip down the boardwalk to The Venice Pier by MDR or towards SaMo.

You can easily spend hours just walking around here. I love it. Air, air and air. Some ocean too, but fresh air is the first reason to be here.

a fun late morning walk as the vendors get set up. A lot of cute art and jewellery to buy. People watching and beach views . Walk, bike or roller blade down the boardwalk for an iconic LA moment Read more

Much better than NY's boardwalk at Coney Island/Brighton beach . There are a lot of different attractions for yourself!

You have to come early if you want to have a really nice spot on the beach . The Boardwalk and Pier are really great for sightseeing and strolling!

Best organic coffee in LA! Island monarch coffee (IMC). Free wifi , ample parking , great selection of non-coffee drinks, food, pastries . 10818a Jefferson blvd. culver city , CA

via LA Mag: The boardwalk remains one of the city 's few legit seaside experiences--complete with Muscle Beach , handball courts, and penny-squishing machines. And it's free.

Chainsaw jugglers, swamis on rollerblades , street dancers...the most amazing street entertainers in the world are at Venice Beach and it's free to watch!

The one place where LA parallels Bourbon street, LA as far as people watching and far-out characters go. Sadly no legal open containers here...

Strolling this famous bit of real estate is a distinctly Californian experience. Thee Muscle Beach area is rife with musicians and street performers . Great for people-watching. Read more

You could see anything here. Weird and wonderful, a bit of a tourist trap but always fascinating to stroll through.

My favorite place in LA. Pot smoking hippies, great handmade jewelry & art for sale, the beach , graffiti wall, what more could you want? Try renting a bike or just walk around & enjoy the performances

Strolling the boardwalk ? UV strength peaks at solar noon, but during 10am – 2pm, sunglasses are especially essential to protect your and your family’s eyes from the sun.

Take Line 1 on the Big Blue Bus (exit Lincoln and Rose ) to the Venice Boardwalk where you can peruse the shops, buy a touristy shirt or join a drum circle .

Cool walk. There is a lot going on, which is great for tourists . This is a must go for everyone.

Don't try to bicycle on the board walk on saturdays and sundays ???? just walk and enjoy your hyperlapse shots

I enjoyed the walk. It’s such good people walking and some many unique sites.

Great plan for Sundays to walk and enjoy the artistry on the streets

Wow! Was there a lot of marijuana smokers. :) Walk the boardwalk and the pier and it was a beautiful day today with my son and my daughter.

Best place for people watching , if you think I saw it all, go there you might be surprised.

hold on to ur belongings! haha still nice to walk during summer time! street shows, Get a Henna tattoo or a ring toe! lots to see and lots to buy!

Venice Beach has always been synonymous with gleaming water, bikini-clad beauties, and muscles . Why not spend a day snapping photos of muscle-bound guys lifting weights at “Muscle Beach ”?!

Good shops. Some decent food options. Rental recreational transportation. Babes and hunks. A little bit of everything.

Check out Gingerbread Court cute spot great shops and a great e-cig store

Different, cool, and beautiful shops. Water is also very good but bathrooms are dirty . Parking is $20 but i liked the place.

Nice area to walk in during day but avoid it at night. Parking is available at 10$

Awesome! Go look for the guy that sells the duck tape wallets and the mini sax! affordable unique gifts

All the freaks really did roll down the hill . Great little historical place. They have weed too

To get the cheapest, nicest and best quality pieces, walk alllllll the waydown the boardwalk to a store that has two huge bongs in the window. His pieces are made of inside out glass and won't break.

Watch out for an sexual talking silly guy walking around in a Superman Costume - Ha hidden camera show caught us talking shit on the beach * Inappropriate Superman *

Park at the boarder of Santa monica & Venice for better parking options. And wear comfy shoes !

Great people-watching - could hangout at the skate park for hours!

Rent a two-seater bicycle and pedal your way down the boardwalk to see the Venice drum circle and local artists . Pose in front of the ‘Starry Knight’ mural for a great photo opp! #vday

Afternoon gets super crowded , don't even think of biking it! Stick to the nearby bike path . Great for people watching .

The grunginess is part of what makes this place so charming and fun.

The artists and all the different people walking around make this place so awesome.

Great tour into the heart of the art and expression scene of Los Angeles.

Rode bikes there last weekend. (Bring sunscreen !) What an eclectic group of people. great for weather, and people watching . Stay for the sunset . Amazing.

Take the good with the bad! Lovely local artists , chotchkies galore, miles of beautiful beach :]

buy some sunglasses, look at some muscle men, get something pierced, drop your camera in the ocean

Lots of shops and street vendors.

I love to bring my dog to Venice, a great place for food and check out what the city has to show! Alot of interesting people!

Shops mostly take just cash but almost each also has ATM

Get yourself a bicycle and ride around!

Best Venice Beach Walk in the country . U must try walking in the beach . It's totally nuts .

A funky people watching place but it gets sketchy at night...be aware!!

Loved people watching , shopping, seeing the street performers !
