Venice Beach

LA's coastal playground

Venice Beach is a beachfront neighborhood in Los Angeles known for its boardwalk, street performers, bodybuilders at Muscle Beach, and countercultural atmosphere.

It serves as shorthand for a particular California vibe—eccentric, sun-soaked, and slightly seedy: The whole scene had a Venice Beach energy to it.
