Venice beach

You can't visit LA and not see at least one of its beaches. I have chosen Venice because of its colorful boardwalk. In one trip you see the Pacific, sand, bikinis, musclemen, tattoo parlors, rollerblades. - all very LA. I tend to park on the street near Venice Blvd and Pacific. If nothing is available (as in summer weekends), then it is paid parking at one of the lots nearby. If you have the time, the Venice canals are close by. Stroll along the streets and bridges to admire the unique houses, the antics of the ducks in the water, or the pet cats as they live the good life!
