00:00Welcome to Venice Beach, California.
00:13It's Sunday, July 18th, 2021 and it's 75 Fahrenheit, 24 Celsius.
00:20It's 1145 in the morning and we're going to be walking the seaside area.
00:27It's a very hip place.
00:30We're at the intersection of Pacific Avenue and Windward Avenue.
00:34It's a lot of people riding their bikes and it's very active today being a Sunday morning.
00:42It's a nice little chill place here.
00:47People getting juices and snow ice, Cafe Collage.
01:01A little bit of history about Venice Beach.
01:03It was founded by Abbott Kinney in 1905 and it was an independent city until 1926 when
01:10it finally merged with Los Angeles.
01:13This city was originally called the Venice of America and Abbott Kinney developed it
01:19as a beach resort town.
01:22He and his partner, Francis Ryan, bought about two miles of oceanfront property right south
01:27of the Santa Monica area in 1891.
01:34The partnership dissolved, however, in 1904 and Kinney, who won the marshy land on the
01:39south end of the property in a coin flip with the former partners, built this city
01:48after the Italian city of the same name.
01:50So Venice Beach is named after Venice, Italy.
01:56There's also several canals which resemble the Venice in Italy, which we'll see later
02:01in this video, but this is the main entrance to the Venice Beach area.
02:08There's a lot of restaurants and people hanging out here.
02:15Also very colorful.
02:16A lot of creative people and artistic people hang out in the Venice Beach area.
02:24And it's bordered by the Ocean Park neighborhood just to the north of it, very close to Manhattan
02:31Beach and Santa Monica Beach.
02:39Santa Monica is right above Ocean Park.
02:42Manhattan Beach is further to the south of Venice Beach.
02:55Seems to be a pretty active day today.
03:00There's Teddy's Red Tacos, Tijuana-style beef birria tacos, which I know are very famous
03:07here in Los Angeles.
03:11I've even had a few birria tacos and I can concur, the birria tacos here are amazing.
03:20Take a look at this amazing mural, one of many that we'll see in Venice Beach, a touch
03:25of Venice.
03:30Here's Same Sun Venice Beach, Backpacker Hostel.
03:43And now we've entered the beachfront area.
03:46This is what Venice Beach is known for, all the beachfront stalls and shacks where people
03:54rent everything from like scooters, bicycles, surfboards, you can even buy suntan lotion
04:01and other souvenirs here.
04:04But this is all this main plaza area.
04:10Sounds like someone's performing over there.
04:14We're going to have a lot of that in Venice Beach as well, a lot of buskers, performers.
04:23There's a little kid over there with a great voice.
04:31First we're going to go over to the right-hand side, I want to show you a bunch of these
04:37shacks over here and then also show you the skate park.
04:43No, thank you.
04:49You can see there's tons of vendors and stalls around here, all from fresh fruit, musicians.
04:59I know there was also a big homeless problem here in Venice Beach, but Los Angeles City
05:06has been cleaning it up.
05:11It's not an easy issue to solve with the homelessness around Los Angeles.
05:17I wonder if we'll see any today because I know that they had a July 4th deadline to
05:22move people from Venice Beach.
05:26Here's the West Sidewalk Market.
05:37And look at this, there's even a building where you can go inside and get a lot of food
05:43and other stuff here.
05:47What's also very popular is to walk from Venice Beach to Santa Monica along this boardwalk
05:53and you'll see a lot of different stuff.
05:57This probably keeps going and going.
06:00Soft serve ice cream, La La Land Venice CBD products, Kids World, Venice souvenirs.
06:25There's vendors on either side.
06:29Some of them are selling their art, different things and then you have the ones over here
06:37with the storefronts.
06:39This place seems pretty busy, the Small World Books and Mystery Annex.
07:01If you go down these streets, you'll see a lot more residences and artwork on the side
07:07of these buildings.
07:08Like this one.
07:09It's like a hammerhead shark.
07:12They've got pre-rolls, marijuana on the wall there.
07:25Alright let's head off over here.
07:27I want to show you the actual beach.
07:42So this is only for bikes.
07:49I thought I was going to be able to walk over here but I guess we have to go this way on
07:56the beach itself towards the skate park.
08:00So let's do that.
08:21Beautiful palm trees.
08:24It's nice to see people here relaxing, having a good time.
08:50There's also public restrooms over to the right.
09:05People are out here rollerblading, enjoying their day.
09:14Right next to the skate park by the way is the public art area.
09:18We'll get to see that.
09:28It's not really well laid out over here, the pedestrian lane and the bike lane.
09:39Oh this is the Skate Dance Plaza.
09:43That's what it's called.
09:50Awesome to see people hanging out over here doing tricks and just having fun in general.
10:08Alright let's cross over and we'll take a look at the skateboard park.
10:15No scooters and no bicycles allowed at the skate park.
10:39It looks well organized and very clean.
11:34Wow people are so talented here.
11:51Let's get going.
11:52Now I'll show you the public art area of Venice Beach.
12:18Some of these artworks are very strange and some even look like they've been graffitied over.
12:38All these palm trees, they have different artworks on them.
12:51Looks like they're even being redone right now.
12:56They're constantly being painted over.
13:10It's very cool to see that, how they do everything.
13:21Alright well that was pretty cool to see the public art area.
13:28The beach itself we'll see later with the water.
13:50Let's make sure we can get over to the beach from this side.
13:53I see someone bringing in a surfboard.
14:09This is a really neat sculpture.
14:13There's also two people there doing some martial arts.
14:43Let's go over to the other side.
15:12Alright let's show the actual beach.
15:31It's a nice playground here.
15:33Great cycling path as well.
15:41Over here is the police department station.
16:03Take a look at this view of the palm trees.
16:06It's gorgeous.
16:27There's another art installation over there which is very very nice.
16:57This place looks pretty cool.
17:07Empanadas and coffee close on Tuesdays.
17:12There's a fish taco place here for $2.75 plus tax for a fish taco.
17:20I wonder what kind of fish they use.
17:25Fish and chips $10.95, watermelon juice, strawberry juice.
17:30They've got a lot of stuff.
17:53Great to see the basketball courts here being used.
18:01Over here we've got make ways.
18:07Venice.
18:09If you want to get your LA souvenirs, you can.
18:13Or maybe if you want to get David's booty shorts, you're able to.
18:19That's a neat looking sculpture.
18:27Wow, funnel cakes and churros.
18:30Also corn dogs.
18:38There's the Venice Beach Athletic Center.
18:47This area looks like it's completely closed, but this is the Muscle Beach area.
18:54The Joe Welder, the father of bodybuilding.
18:58Or maybe they just do this for competition, I'm not sure.
19:03Muscle Beach Nutrition.
19:06No thanks man, I'm alright.
19:14No thanks, I'm alright.
19:19Look at this, souvenirs, California.
19:30Venice Bike Club.
19:47Tennis courts over here.
20:05It really seems like this Venice Beach trip goes on for a long while.
20:19Definitely feels like a little bit more hip and artistic compared to the other beaches that I've been to in Los Angeles.
20:31Compared to Redondo Beach, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, this is completely different.
20:39Every beach has its own kind of style.
20:43There's custom t-shirts.
20:46There's even some anime characters on it, Supreme.
20:52I guess it has to be Supreme imitation, but it works.
21:10So this is the public parking area for Venice Beach.
21:32CBD and souvenirs, Queen Doctor's evaluation.
21:40Oceanfront Kitchen.
21:48Pokey Pokey Hawaiian Sashimi.
22:06It's sugar.
22:08It's sugar.
22:10Beautiful candy shop.
22:14Over here is the entrance to North Venice Boulevard.
22:20And this starts the residential quiet zone of Venice Beach.
22:25So no more stalls over here.
22:28It's all homes and residences.
22:36Completely different vibe than down there where all the commercial activity is.
23:06Another interesting mural.
23:34I think on the next block, I'll make a left and we'll head over to the Pacific Avenue area.
24:03I'd also like to see the Venice Canals.
24:09Probably that's where I'll end the video.
24:33Alright, here's 23rd Avenue.
25:03The Speedway.
25:21This is really interesting.
25:30This really reminds me of Manhattan Beach with all the courts going through the homes.
25:40Beautiful tree.
25:58It's hard to see where things are sometimes because homeowners erected these tall fences.
26:28Those are different cones I've never seen before.
26:43Alright, so this is the main street of the area, Pacific Avenue.
26:53Let's cross over to the other side because there's no sidewalk here.
27:02Beautiful tree-lined walk we went through.
27:06You don't even know it's there unless you live there, I guess.
27:27There's the other side of Venice Beach that you don't really see.
27:57All these homes have different styles to them.
28:12Some are stone, some are wood, different colors.
28:17And each one of these tree-lined paths are decorated a little bit differently.
28:24I really like the emoji over there at the top of that lamppost.
28:53There's the local bus, number one.
29:22I believe the public access to the Venice Canals is coming soon.
29:32Well, maybe this is it. Yes, it's right here.
29:35You don't even know.
29:40This is cool.
29:45So this is the public path to get down to the Venice Canals.
29:49It really looks like a crooked street here to get down here.
30:04It will take a shortcut going down here, but this is more fun going this way.
30:20Taking the long way around.
30:51Okay.
31:01Here's the public access to the canals.
31:03It's hidden, as you can see.
31:06You'd only know about this if you look it up on a map.
31:14This is gorgeous.
31:21Here it is, Venice Canals Public Access.
31:30This is unbelievable, to say the least.
31:37Wow.
31:42It does really resemble Venice in Italy.
31:55What about the other side? How does this look?
32:19Here's another view of the bridge.
32:38Wow, you can easily get lost in here and not know your way out.
32:44There's many different kinds of bridges, too.
32:48And the water is very shallow.
33:09Okay, so there's no more canals this way.
33:11Oh, there are.
33:35Wow, incredible.
33:42Hello.
33:48Maybe we'll go up to the other canal over there, and we'll end this video.
34:01I'm sure there's a lot of tourists who don't even know about the Venice Canals and Venice Beach, California,
34:07and they'll just go to the beachfront and think that's all Venice Beach.
34:37All right, everyone.
35:02That is the end of my video walking Venice Beach, California.
