Venice Beach is an amazing coastal city in Los Angeles, California that attracts tourists each year. Known for its lively culture, shopping, dinning, and stunning beaches, time spent in Venice is time well spent. With so much to do, we’ve summed up the perfect day in Venice Beach for you to indulge in!

For starters, the perfect place to start your day is the Venice Boardwalk. Take a stroll, roller skate, bike or just cruise down the two and a half mile stretch. There are plenty of attractions including restaurants, coffee shops, and boutiques. People watching on the Boardwalk is especially fun, as there are performers and a mix of cultures! You can even catch a gun show by spying some pro bodybuilders in action at Muscle Beach. Especially designed for fitness and bodybuilding activities, fitness enthusiasts have been rocking their bodies at the site since the 1930s.

After all that pumping iron, art, and shopping, stop at the one and only Abbot Kinney Boulevard. The area is famous for being the heart of Venice Beach. It is full of more trendy shops, great food, and bars to get your sip on. The Brig Bar sits on the iconic Boulevard and has a fun atmosphere to entertain those looking for a drink, food, and entertainment.
