The area

Neighborhood: Venice

Venice has always danced to its own beat as the epicenter of bohemian culture in Los Angeles. Along the boardwalk there are street performers and local craftsmen selling their wares. Original paintings, souvenirs, and jewelry are on display. Crowds of visitors marvel at the sites while weightlifting enthusiasts pump iron in plain view, and skateboarders do their tricks around the skate park. All of it happens under the warm California sun with sprawling views of sand and sea. Heading east, the main drags of Abbot Kinney Boulevard and Main Street are lined with boutique shops, some major retail stores, art galleries and restaurants. Here the ambiance is more relaxed and upscale than the frenetic boardwalk area. Venice is a mostly walkable (and certainly bikeable) neighborhood, full of areas to explore.

Much enhancing public art

Oct 2019

A grand stroll by the beach and walkway was enhanced by grand public art, murals and installations.

On the beach a colourful cone is accompanied by equally ornate items including the solar panel stands.

Murals along the walkway are great, including the exceptional Venice Kinesis.

When Visiting Venice, Take a Moment to Pause and Reflect

Feb 2020

This is an attraction that is easy to miss. My recommendation is "Don't". Don't miss it that is. Even though Venice is gentrified and moving away from its rougher later days, the area is still an explosion of sound, color, flavor and character. During your Venice visit take a few minutes to enjoy this constantly evolving artistic expression and let it round out for you the wonder that is Venice.
