About Venice Beach Boardwalk

Ocean Front Walk runs for about three miles along Venice Beach, lined with tattoo shops, medical-marijuana storefronts, and the original Muscle Beach outdoor gym. Skaters use the dedicated skate park while street performers and vendors work the boardwalk itself, especially on weekends.
