What to do and see in Venice, California (CA): The Best Things to do
Hollywood beckons to tourists who long for a brush with Tinseltown glamor. Tour movie studios, slip your hands into the famous prints at the TCL Chinese Theatre, or indulge in a celeb sighting at one of LA’s white-hot nightspots. Spot your favorite star while shopping at The Grove, or forget all about the famous eye candy as you take in the iconic artwork at The Getty Center. For a different type of star-gazing, peek through the telescopes at the Griffith Observatory.

All of Kapowui's instructors live within blocks of the beach and surf every day. This is a life choice for us.

A short walk from the Venice Beach eyesore, the canals provide a very different aspect of the area. Whereas the beach is full of cheap souvenir shops, and a large number of unfortunate folk who are living rough, the canal walks allow you to stroll past lovely homes and watch the ducks and squirrels go about their business. There are several canals and if interested you could easily spend a few hours walking them. A relaxing change.

Abbott Kinney is a lovely Street in Venice that spans about 1.5 MI. Parking is not easy but you will find a spot, but mind the meters. On the weekends it can be especially crowded, especially during the summer. It is just as pretty in the winter and I suggest you go then. There's a lot to do and a lot of walking on Abbot Kinney. Now, if you are looking for discount shopping or Cheap Eats go somewhere else. The street is filled with boutiques, art galleries, fine dining restaurants and expensive coffee and tea. Despite the cost it is great fun and if you want something unique you might very well find it. The area is relatively safe and there are few bars which are quite nice. Back to parking: do not go behind the street and find places to park inside the residential area you may find your car stolen when you get back. Stay right on or near Abbot Kinney and you will be fine. The place has gentrified over the years. It used to have little bars, tiny shops and even a few houses, that is no longer the case. But, as locals we have made the best of it and we have learned to love it. You will too

It’s a phenomenal piece of public art at the entrance to the Chiat-Day block that in fact it is known colloquially as the Binoculars Building. Unsurprisingly Frank Gehry was the architect and completion was in the early 2000s. Entrance to the car park and for pedestrians is between the lenses.

There are some really talented skateboarders here, there were a few youngsters under the age of ten that were amazing to watch and completely fearless.
