Venice
Venice
Venice – All of LA. One neighborhood.
Venice Beach is iconic – the shoreline, the boardwalk, the canals, and the unfiltered energy (creative to its core). It’s LA history and reinvention all at once.The birthplace of surf and skate culture. A neighborhood where quirky beach shacks sit right next door to modern architectural gems. It’s where street art mixes with Michelin stars and yes, it’s even family friendly – surf groms galore.
It all comes together on Abbot Kinney Blvd: endless coffee shops, fine dining (make a Resy for Felix), vintage finds, high-end shopping, the original Aviator Nation… and most importantly, where you go to see, and be seen.

Shopping & Food Recommendations
Gjelina
After 15 years, it’s still hard to get a table — must be the wood-fired pizzas. In a rush? Try GTA next door for the best breakfast sandwich ever.
Abbot Kinney
Not just a street, but the heartbeat of Venice. Boutiques, bars, too much coffee for one human being, and people-watching at its best.
Hinano
A Venice dive-bar legend since the ’60s. Cold beer, live bands, and one of the best burgers in all of LA — only a few steps from the sand.
Felix
Evan Funke’s Felix is part pasta workshop, part neighborhood hotspot — where the dough gets rolled in plain view and his cacio e pepe has earned a cult following.
Dig Rig
In contrast to Abbot Kinney’s high-end boutiques, this spot is pure vintage Venice: rock ’n’ roll tees, stacks of coveted denim, and colorful ’80s surf shirts.
The Penmar
Community golf course by day; great food, live music, and cocktails by night. A down-to-earth country club, no membership required — plenty of TVs and outdoor vibes.
