Iconic beach city on the Los Angeles coast. Merchants line the boardwalk - walkways with restaurants, cafes and workout gyms. Basketball courts, bon fire pits and picnic tables. Paved bike path runs from Santa Monica to Redondo Beach. 2021: beware of the massive HOMELESS encampments lining the neighborhood streets and lawns. "often appears to be on drugs—has prostituted women in the RVs, in addition to dealing methamphetamine to other homeless people" Venice is the newest Skid Row, with the ocean. See Crime links below
