I cannot believe these 5 star reviews! I'm from NYC but here on this boardwalk I feared for my life ok well maybe just for my handbag. I'm so confused now!! Trashy, dirty, junkie novelty shops. Every 5th person is walking a pitbull. Get the picture? more

A must see

If you're visiting L.A you have to take a walk along the boardwalk. It's funky. Cool people. Always something exciting happening. Tons of street performers and cute guys. Nice shopping. Good food. It's better than the Santa Monica Pier. This is where the boys of "Dogtown" the movie started. more

I have come from Ireland to LA and spent the last 3 weeks living a couple of blocks from Venice Beach and Boardwalk....I love it here.

You cant come to LA and not visit the crazy Venice Beach Boardwalk. Let me tell you there are some seriously weird people who hang out here but weird in a interesting fun way. Taking my time I walked from one end to the other and saw everything from "anti" this to "liberate yourself" that. People watching is the highlight... more

I live in Venice, just blocks from the beach and I am never bored with a stroll down the boardwalk. My favorite activity is to take an early morning run along the bike path - the sun is rising, the waves are crashing and the boardwalk is less frantic than other times of the day. On the boardwalk, you get... more
