Venice Beach is famous for one thing, and one thing only – its boardwalk and the funky, eclectic atmosphere that exists around it. Muscle Beach, the open-air gym where the future governor of California was discovered, is just a short walk away from the famous mural of Jim Morrison. Volleyball courts are next to tennis courts, while dog walkers, rollerbladers and bicyclists roam up and down the boardwalk. Offbeat eateries, galleries and shops are all over the beach, which is home to a large population of artists and performers.
