My first introduction to Venice was through Venice Beach. While I loved seeing the drum circles, freak shows, and "green" doctors, this was definitely a very pleasant break from that culture. The homes along the canals are notable for their varied architecture. They are all gorgeous beach homes, and I love seeing the individual style of each house.

Lovely casual walk around the canals. This is not normally on the tourist map but well worth the little extra time.

The canals are small and sometimes littered up with debris. hopefully they cleaned this place up a little since i walked there last summer.

The walk along the canals is a delightful way to spend some time in the Other Venice and most of the gardens are interesting. I have always found something different to catch my eye on every visit. It is very tranquil and there are some of the houses are quite unique. Go on down to the beach and walk along... More

If your tired of being in the same old environment and want to travel but can't afford it, take a bike ride to Venice Canals. It will have you believing that you have escaped to another country. That is.. if your good at lying to yourself. It is a change of scenery.

One of my favorite places in LA. There are pop color houses and flowers, but very quiet and nice place to take a walk. We had engagement photo session here. It was not sunshine day, but still very picture like location.

I was in real Venice and even though this is not exactly copy, it's really amazing and beautiful! It was very interesting walking along the canals and look at the houses and boats. They even have some gondolas there!

amazing is the word that comes to mind. very scenic and peaceful did not know this was here. great for the family to see.
