An amazing location for anyone interested in watching skateboarding, taking action shots with your camera of skateboarding tricks, or just people watching. Different spots available to watch from. If it’s crowded when you arrive, don’t give up... a good spot to watch the skaters should open up. An exciting spot to watch skaters.

Hip and Happening
Fun for the teenager in your group. You get to witness the latest moves and fads among the SoCal skateboarding scene. You will want to leave yourself time to walk the boardwalk in Venice Beach.

Jay Pittman Experienced in 2019 Great place to visit and get some good basketball games in. Watching is fun too. If your visiting it’s definitely a spot to check off your list of things to do in LA.

Crazy Tempo
It’s a super advanced atmosphere, way too much going on for me and I’m a seasoned skater. Very fun to watch, so much talent! Nathan S Experienced in September 2015
Over the top!
This is the place to observe the far out and the far fetched! Lots of exposed flesh and enhanced muscles! Lots of “medicinal� marijuana shops. Some great restaurants also. Professional Pilgrim Experienced in February 2020

Gotta be there... Venice. Iconic LA beach. One time home of one Jim Morrison. It is all on show here. A pretty nice beach hides behind all the stuff we know haunts Venice. You gotta see it at least once. Past the tac, you can find some good food further along the beach front. Noble Experienced in February 2020

blahblahblahblah2018 Experienced in October 2018 So beautiful, eclectic, vibrant, legendary. Stroll along the boardwalk, stop along the way to enjoy the various street performers. Muscle Beach is always a good place to get a glimpse of some real hardbodies. The skate park is a great place to find rising stars on skateboards. A cocktail at sunset on the patio at the Waterfront and you’ve all had a great day.
Venice anyone?!

Such a cool place to visit the counterculture!! A very artistic area for the beach, sidewalk performers, skateboarders, music, etc. Some of the shops & restaurants were like shanties. But, there are nice shops & restaurants. If you walk the entirety, you will arrive at Santa Monica Pier!! Wish we had more time!! Debi M, Experienced in October 2018

Magical sea-gull. Earphones over the water. A surfer painted on the house of the beach front living. The clutch side of mouth singing. Then it hits me, the sound of bell. At the Santa Monica pier. I’m in love, it’s good. There is my bell, married with an ugly flower. Toes in the sand. Trash in the can. Under the moon and the blue typhoon. Under the water I felt her guilt. I have to praise you like I should. The air is changing me within. Where could she be? Ocean front walk. Spokes and stuff. Snacks and drinks. Day two of my adventure. Heal the bay. I want to work here. This is where I wanna be. Game of shadows. This is where I wanna go. Here is my bell. While the world was out playing. Venice. Our home. Right next to muscle beach. She was the bell of the ball, by herself, going out to the boardwalk. A poem by Benjamin Bueno
