The Venice Beach Boardwalk

The Venice Beach Boardwalk

This is something everyone should do once in his or her life. It is such a treat to walk this amazingly interesting boardwalk - which is really concrete. It is miles and miles of shops and sights - not too many places to eat, except for junk food. The real attraction is the people. The folks selling stuff seem to be in many cases leftovers from the hippie days. There are a lot of performers too - some better than others. The colors, sights and smells are incredible. Some of the more famous sites are the Muscle Beach Outdoor Gym, where the big beefy guys (at least in the movies) work out. The guys I saw in there were not quite as huge. The outdoor basketball courts are very lively, and the guys could really play some ball. This has also been featured in many movies. You can but tacky T-shirts, as well as a massage, a tarot reading, or a hot dog. Also, of course, headgear for your dog.
