town.venice beach

Iconic beach city on the Los Angeles coast. Merchants line the boardwalk - walkways with restaurants, cafes and workout gyms. Basketball courts, bon fire pits and picnic tables. Paved bike path runs from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach. 2021: beware of the massive HOMELESS encampments lining the once-green lawns. See Crime link below
