Venice Canals

Even many Angelenos have no idea that just a couple of blocks from the Boardwalk madness is an idyllic neighborhood that preserves 3 miles of Abbot Kinney’s canals. The Venice Canal Walk threads past eclectic homes, over bridges and along waterways where ducks preen and locals lollygag in little rowboats. It’s best accessed from either Venice or Washington Blvds.
