Oh the famous Venice Beach....you have made a very good guide for 1st time visitors....Thanks..

[TravelInteresante]

There it is! My favorite part of Los Angeles! Even just visiting here would be more than sufficient! Thanks for the parking tips btw! I would prefer Venice canals for the sunset time and you guys of course go great pics!

[TheCountryCollectors]

As always you took me someplace beautiful and gave me some fun information too! Great recommendations as always. I have been before but you showed me More than I saw on my trip! I had no idea it was an homage to Venice in Italy! Great boardwalk and sunsets! And I love the parking tips!

[LucasWorldTravel]

Love the vibe here, especially the skate park. I could watch them skate all day! Also, great sunset and canal captures! Alan does great work!

[Explorcation]

Great recommendations Sarah! We also would enjoy watching the roller bladers and skateboarders.

There really is so much to do, I think a day trip would go by fast.

Alan got some great shots around sunset 📸

Fantastic presentation as always, this was done masterfully. Streets are so lovely and picturesque!

[TheWrightLifeTravelChannel]

Thank you for the lovely suggestions! The last time we were in Venice the fog moved in quickly and we ended up just heading back to our hotel!

The vibe at Venice Beach seems amazing!
I was there years ago when working on a cruise ship, but we literally only had enough time to jump out the taxi, take a pic at the Venice Beach sign, and run back to the taxi 🙈😅
Love all the street art, the fair style food, the promenade looks amazing, and I didn’t know about those beautiful canals 🥰
Your hubby did a great job with those sunset pics on the beach 👏

That's a cool skatepark. Best trick ever could be performed there ;)

Bringing back so many memories! I loved walking down the boardwalk just to observe the people. It's nice to see that they cleaned it up some. There was a long period there after I moved away that Venice Beach became a homeless tent city. I remember my friends telling me and showing me pictures about it. I'm glad it's getting back to what always made it great. Especially the skate park. I remember when they filled the whole thing it during covid....smh. Oh That area behind the rocks, during high tide becomes a sheltered pool. I loved chilling in that spot without having to deal with the waves. Definitely got yourselves a true Cali Sunset.

Very helpful - I'll be coming to the area mid October and wanted to check this area. I really think I will check out the canals and houses - looks like such a cute area!

[jontooke]

Thanks for the amazing video about Venice Beach. I love your tips you just keep getting me adding to my travel list. Keep up the amazing posts.

Venice Ale House on the boardwalk is a great place for a pint and some people watching!

[Johnnywhamo]

I still have pictures in VB from back in the early 80's when I was 17, I'm 59 now. I remember renting roller-skates and booting around. I even saw the dude in the turban that use to play guitar while skating around. I saw pictures recently with all the homeless there and it was tragic to say the least.

[princessstephany]

I’m taking my kids there this summer I’m so excited

[TideKnotTravellers]

Sounds crazy but I had no idea Venice beach was based on actual Venice in Italy. Loved the footage of you directing Alan to get the perfect sunset shot!

[TripsCultureTC]

Great video and lot of interesting information, thanks for the share 👍
