Venice Beach and the ""Boardwalk"" hasn't changed in 25 years. Some of the faces are different, but the lifestyle and attitude remain unchanged.
The area is a colorful mixture of locals, international visitors, and people who just want to have the experience. The Boardwalk vendors and performers make the visit worthwhile by themselves, but then you throw in the cleans beach and water along with beautiful sunsets and you have a great package. If you get tired of the Venice Beach scene, Santa Monica Pier is just a relaxing walk, north along the beach.
Everyone has to visit at least once in their lives.
