Venice Canals
Skip the boardwalk crowds and start at the Venice Canals — charming bridges over waterways with colourful houses. Feels like you've left LA entirely.

The Butcher's Daughter
10 min walk. Plant-based café in a beautiful light-filled space on Abbot Kinney. Excellent juices, avocado toast, and grain bowls.

Venice Beach Boardwalk
5 min walk. Street performers, Muscle Beach, skate park, and the world-famous graffiti walls. Pure LA energy.

The Brig
5 min walk. Abbot Kinney's best bar — great patio, local craft beers, and a laid-back Venice crowd. DJ nights on weekends.

Comments
Start at the canals, not the boardwalk — it's quieter and more romantic. Save the boardwalk chaos for later in the date.
