More information on Venice City Beach

As far as all-around entertainment value, it's hard to beat Venice City Beach. This is mainly due to the fact that it is inhabited by fire jugglers, weight lifters, self-proclaimed prophets and other colorful folks. Venice City Beach is indeed the home of Muscle Beach, intense basketball pick-up games, legends of Jim Morrison and more mediocre food and cheap goods than you'll ever need. Parking spaces would be a problem on weekends—you may have to pay and park as all free spaces may be taken. Park and ride is also available. Prices drop at night and during the winter.
