Venice Beach

Venice Beach is one place where it’s almost as much about the people as it is about the surf or the sand. In fact, the world famous Ocean Front Walk often upstages the Pacific Ocean. As you’re strolling the boardwalk, keep an eye out for Harry Perry, the turbaned guitar player on roller blades who has appeared in numerous films and television shows. This is also the place to shop, eat and see bodybuilders, chainsaw jugglers and a full complement of palm readers, folk artists and other colorful characters.
