Venice Beach is one of Los Angeles' most bustling beachfront areas, known around the world for its famed Venice Beach Boardwalk.
The free-admission beach and boardwalk is known for its quirky, bohemian character, showcasing eclectic street performers and public art throughout its 1.5-mile boardwalk stretch. A diverse array of retail options are offered at the boardwalk, from souvenir stores and surf shops to medical marijuana dispensaries and tattoo parlors.
