50 Amazing "Off The Beaten Path " Things To Do In Los Angeles

4. VENICE CANALS

Venice Beach lours tourists with its funky hippie culture and free love vibe and turns them into voyeurs down on the famed Boardwalk or Muscle Beach. Agreed, this is something everyone should witness once in their life but I suggest a much cooler way to experience Venice - take a stroll along the canals. Lined with million dollar cottages, the canals are a pedestrian paradise dating back to 1905 when Abbott Kinney sought to emulate the romantic canals of Venice, Italy. Today they are deemed a historical treasure and are quite picturesque. They run from the Marina to the South to North of Washington Bl. Each side of the Blvd. offers something different and water levels vary depending on the tide and rainfall.
