Venice Beach

Venice Beach Skatepark is a vibrant hub of activity, especially on weekends, when it comes alive with energy as young people and families gather to enjoy the sunny California weather. The skatepark, located right on the Venice Beach boardwalk, is a favorite spot for both amateur and professional skaters who come to practice their tricks, showcase their skills, and bond with others who share the same passion. The atmosphere is electric, with spectators cheering on skaters as they navigate the bowls, ramps, and rails. Families often come together, bringing their children to watch or participate, creating a lively and inclusive environment. It’s a place where the local community and tourists alike can enjoy the diverse and eclectic culture that Venice Beach is known for. The backdrop of the Pacific Ocean adds to the unique experience, and as the day winds down, the sight of the sunset over the water provides a picturesque ending to a day filled with skating, laughter, and camaraderie. Venice Beach Skatepark truly captures the essence of California’s skate culture and remains a must-visit spot for anyone looking to immerse themselves in the local lifestyle.

Really neat place for people to hang out and skate. I was just a spectator. I can barely walk on my own two feet much less zoom around on a skateboard surrounded by concrete. What could possible go wrong?? Anyway, I really admire these guys and gals for their talent which in turn was my free entertainment.

It’s a very popular and well-known skater park which you should definitely visit. In addition, you can run there and take great pictures. Cool spot to spend some time and enjoy the view with the beach. I went for a run there in the morning and it was empty so I would definitely recommend if you want to enjoy some alone time to go in the early hours of the day to fully experience the beauty of the skate park.

This area is an iconic place with a wide diversity of people - sometimes over crowded but a must-see to experience the live music and talented artists that are on the street performing. Lots of e-bikes - roller blading and runners and kite surfers on the dedicated bike paths - lots of street food 😀 and nick nack vendors on the street not to mention the beach scene is pretty amazing as a back drop to it all. Parking is always a challenge, so come early.

Venice has come back to life since Covid is behind. The area has been cleaned up and the homeless situation although still visible is much better. The streets were clean and people were happy to enjoy the space again. People watching is what we were doing, not skating.lots of places to eat. Teddy's Red Tacos is fire.
