3/5 - Okay

Verified traveller

It's a bit tacky! The walks along the canals behind the beach are much quieter and very pleasant.

2/5 - Disappointing

Verified traveller

Not sure what I expected but its a collection of people selling 'art' and services

3/5 - Okay

Venice Beach itself is lovely ... it was great to watch the skateboarders in the skate park. Unfortunately Muscle Beach was closed for renovations when we visited, however the area is full of homeless people and begging, during the day it felt safe as there were lots of people around however it’s not somewhere I would go in the evening.
