Historic Venice Canals
If you are in the area on vacation take the two mile relaxing stroll along the canals.
“Stop in near the intersection of Washington Boulevard and Pacific Avenue, at the corner of Washington and Strongs Drive. There, under a small sign that says "Venice Canals Walkway," turn in and begin exploring. “

Adorable area and nice loop to take a stroll.
Enjoyed the pretty Christmas lights on our evening stroll. And in the morning, we had nice stroll as well enjoying the beautiful homes and their garden, and the view.

Nice place for walk along the canals. Venice beach is nearby. If you want to visit this place for Christmas decorations you may be disappointed only few houses were decorated.
This is a must see during the holidays. You will want to park on a side street in the area of the canals. It is a walk in to view these beautiful light displays. There are 4 canals with bridged walkways over them and there are walkways along each of the canals to enjoy the festive look and can even view some exquisite homes along the canals. The whole area is interconnected. I thoroughly enjoyed this and so glad that my husband found this for our family to enjoy.
Easily one of my favorite places on the west side, especially during the holidays. If you enjoy looking at beautiful homes and leisurely walks, this is a must. Right off Washington Blvd, there's lots of options for a bite or a drink right off the canals or you can continue on two blocks to the beach or the Venice boardwalk.
Tix not needed. Beautiful for an evening stroll with loved ones or someone special. Most of the bridges over the canals are decorated along with some of the barges.
Please note the paths to the bridges are narrow and the bridges are steep as an FYI to the disabled. Walking paths run alongside private homes, also nicely decorated and the canal.

Absolutely beautiful, an architectural dream and best kept secret. This was by far the most interesting activity that I did in LA. The narrow pathways, beautiful homes and lovely feeling. Make this a must do on your visit to LA. Also, don’t rush it, and don’t forget to smell the roses 🌹. Free parking in Meredith Avenue, with convenient access to the canals.
Very cool. Please be mindful that this really isn't a tourist trap. It's a residential neighborhood. So be respectful when wandering around people's homes. Other than that. You can freely walk around and see some nice birds and homes. Keep in mind you will need to park outside the area and walk in.
