Venice Beach

Reviewed By Lechien513

Yoga on the Beach with Elin (twice in the am and once in the pm), drum circle at sunset, volleyball at 4:30, clean restrooms, lifeguards, and beautiful sand! Who could ask for anything more? Parking has never been an issue for me but many travel by bicycle. I love the mat halfway to the water for those in wheelchairs but I wish it went all the way to the water.

Service Club Park

Reviewed By dvkremk - Venice, United States

We were quite pleased with this beach. They have a very nice boardwalk with separate areas with covered tables along the way to the beach. There are also bathrooms by the parking lot and sufficient parking on the day that we visited. It's a little off the beaten path where most of the tourists go - so we loved it.
