Venice Beach - Past & Present Tour

What you'll experience

Come visit the sights that makes Venice the most unique beach hotspot of Los Angeles! You'll learn about and see landmarks while hearing oral history highlights of the amazing story of Venice. Experience the legendary Venice boardwalk scene, skateboarding daredevils at the skate park continuing the 1970's skate culture originated by Dogtown and Z-Boys, and gawk at Muscle Beach made famous by Arnold Schwarzenegger. You'll visit the historic canals, and check out the local hipster shopping and restaurant flavor of of Abbot Kinney Boulevard. This tour can be walked in 2-3 hours, or you can drive to some spots. It easily combines with my similar tour of nearby Santa Monica for a full L.A. beach culture and history experience!
