It was exactly like how I expected it to be… plenty of characters. We came by early on a cloudy morning, so there weren’t many people around. Very cool to watch the skateboarders though.

Just so much to do. Just a mixture of everything. Muscle beach and the b ball courts where movies were filmed. A ton of souvenir shops and restaurants. Parking is fairly easy. Some people performing on the strip in front of beach. There's a skate park. I really love coming here each time I travel to California. Also pet friendly

Iconic beach area with all sorts of things to do, see and eat. Big green space, and recreational activities to do here. Very overcrowded
Lots of street performers and buskers. You could tell there was probably close to even on tourist and locals present

One of my Southern California Beaches... packed with friendly people, people that perform, people that wish to see a wonderful west coast beach, people that enjoy being around lots of others, people that wish to make memories... Venice Beach is a plus, in my book. Always loved it here.. and still do. Thanks.

Loved every minute of my time there. Spent the day with wife and kids on a Saturday. Got there around 11. Got really busy and live around 1. Many cool vendors, items and food for sale at an affordable price, performers, and sights to see. Not to mention the beach is relaxing although there were a lot of people, everyone is chill. There were some homeless but isn't too bad tbh.

A nice beach with soft sand that is great for sitting and watching and listening to the waves. Also great for people watching or if you like to watch surfers do their thing. The beach has a great boardwalk with many shops and places to eat. There are still some homeless and shady characters here and there so it is good to be wary of your surroundings at all times. Overall thought, it seems mostly safe and a great place for couples to have a good time.

Lovely place to be. Small Broadway with shops, a skatepark, police station and a restroom can be found here. Can be very crowded during summer and other peak times so I suggest people with cars to visit Malibu beach where there's cleaner water for swimming.
