Venice Beach: Venice Beach is quite possibly...
  • Tip Rating:
  • Venice Beach is quite possibly the weirdest place on the planet. It's impossible to explain; just go and you'll see what I mean. It is not to be missed!

    I love big cities, but since LA doesn't feel all that big that's not why I like it so much. It's just very unique, and I enjoyed seeing a part of the world unlike any other.

  • Tip Rating:
  • Grab a book, pay a visit to Venice Beach. Over 95% you would be able to enjoy the California sunshine here. Rent a bike or roller-blade to feel the local life. My favourite is the 'druming group' gathered on Venice beach every weekend. Enthusiasts would bring along their own drums, gather on the beach and jam along. Not only different kinds of drums, you will also see people playing with their plastic bucket. You can easily locate them, by the sound of the drums or a large crowd (one time it got up to 100!) gathered on the beach.

    Venice Beach: drop by Venice Beach. ...
  • Tip Rating:
  • drop by Venice Beach.

    Photo Below: This is a 'live' web cam showing the world famous Venice Beach in California, which updates itself automatically every 10 minutes.

    The web cam is pointing south along the boardwalk, displaying the bike path, beach, pavilion area and the beautiful Pacific Ocean. One of the most interesting times to view this web cam is definitely during the weekend when up to 150,000 people a day visit this place!

    Venice Beach is an eclectic, funky and definitely unique place where you'd see many sidewalk vendors line the boardwalk selling their wares.... many of the items homemade; and street performers entertain passing crowds by performing their unusual talents.





    Personally speaking, Venice Beach is nice.... but it's not reeeeally my kind of place to chill out.... Bumped into quite alot of...hm... 'interesting' personalities here. If you catch my drift!

    Venice Beach: Go on top of the Westin...
    Go on top of the Westin Bonaventure Hotel and have a cocktail. They will put you in a little booth on a rotating floor that lets you see the LA lights at night! The drinks are not very expensive and you can even bring the cup home for a souvenir!

    Venice beach on a clear day is such a beautiful place. There are many little shops on the board walk where you can buy interesting stuff. It's nice to just stroll along the walk way watching people and their dogs =) lots of dogs.

    Venice Beach: Go to Venice Beach! You could...
    Go to Venice Beach! You could tour Hollywood and see a whole lot of nuthin. But Hollywood is as fake as it looks on screen. An enormous number of people trying way too hard to get noticed. Venice Beach is as real as it gets. If ever there was a gathering of every type of person imaginable, it would be Venice Beach. Make sure to hang out with the locals at the Sidewalk Cafe.

    From Venice to Sunset, from Westwood to the Promenade, from Hollywood(blah) to Malibu. There was never a dull moment in LA. If you are bored in LA you are boring.
    My fondest memory would have to be at Venice Beach. After a day of sun, beach, and drink we sauntered into the Sidewalk Cafe to mingle and be merry. As the sun began to set and the nightcrawlers emerged from their lairs, someone thought it would be a good idea to indulge in a little co-ed skinny dippin. Emerging from the toxic pool someone thought it would be a good idea to put some money on my willingness to be spontaneous. '$100 says hadley won't streak into the Sidewalk at say hi to our bartender pal, Brian.'
    Before the words were out i was off and running. Setting: Friday night, full house, band jammon in the back. I hadn't realized how popular one becomes being the only one in their birthday suit. I completed my task and on returning outside found my companions literaly rolling on the ground. As I was ....
    Gotta go. I'll finish this later.

    No trip to Los Angeles is complete without a trip to Venice Beach!!! Bring good socks and a pair of rollerblades because there is 22 miles of paved rollerblading trails to enjoy, all within sight of the ocean.
