Ever want to hit the beach but also want to see some peculiar things along the way? Then unless you've been living under a rock, you know the Place to be is Venice Beach! You can see a wide range of spectacles from hippie protesters to roided up muscles heads or just watch some good ol' fashioned drama on the B-ball courts. And if that type of thing doesn't get you interested there's a wide variety of "novelty" shops along the way to enjoy. There is never a lack of entertainment of some sort on the Venice boardwalk.
