Venice Beach, just south of Santa Santa Monica, is an eclectic, funky, and definitely unique place where sidewalk vendors line the boardwalk selling their wares, many of the items homemade; and street performers entertain the passing crowds by performing their unusual talents.  One of the most interesting times to visit is during the weekend, when up to 150,000 people a day visit this exciting place called Venice Beach.


Venice Beach, California is a desired destination for travelers from all over the world. It is unlike any place on Earth, well known for its artists, street performers and funky atmosphere. It is a virtual carnival running year round with free admission. With many Santa Monica Hotels nearby to choose from here are a few you may want to consider

Best Western Ocean View Hotel - Located steps away from the area's finest entertainment, restaurants, galleries, cares, shops and beaches. Shutters On the Beach - the only luxury hotel in LA that is right on the sandy beach!

Although they pop up in many cities today, Venice has always been a mecca for the Street Performer. The Venice boardwalk features beach side entertainment from the most recognized - Harry Perry, Venice Legend- Guitar playing street musician on roller skates - to the newest professional bum: 'The Worlds Greatest Wino'. They work in the world of 'in your face' guerrilla theater. It takes the bravest or most fanatic type of person to become successful in this venue. Many have staked their very livelihoods on this form of live performance. Unfortunately after a exciting performance of juggling, comedy and music many satisfied customers just walk away leaving these jesters nothing.


Traveling along Ocean Front Walk, you'll meet dancers, comedians, musicians, jugglers, weightlifters, skaters, preachers, artists in virtually every medium, and of course the beautiful California bikini clad girls. Venice Beach offers an insight into Los Angeles' beachfront counterculture that has grown with it's own unique identity since the turn of the century. The moment you arrive, you'll be immersed in the theme that is today's Venice.
