Venice, California, is a district in west Los Angeles, California. It is best known for its canals and beaches, but it also
has a somewhat bohemian residential area as well as a colorful boardwalk.
Venice Beach is understood to include the beach, the promenade that runs parallel to the beach ("Ocean Front Walk" or just
"the boardwalk"), Muscle Beach, the tennis courts, the numerous beach volleyball courts, the bike trail and the businesses
and residences that have their addresses on Ocean Front Walk. It is a great magnet for tourists, even from other parts of
Los Angeles. Along the southern portion of the beach, at the end of Washington Boulevard, is the Venice Fishing Pier. A
1,310-foot concrete structure, it first opened in 1964, but was closed in 1983 due to El Niño storm damage, only reopening
in the mid-1990s.
Factoid:
The Venice Beach boardwalk is home to the famous Muscle Beach, The current facility, which sports a huge concrete barbell
on the roof and bleachers for spectators.
