Venice Pier

Off Harbor Dr 1.5 miles south of W Venice Ave, this long, wide beach with a huge parking lot is the most popular, especially for sunset. The adjacent pier, which has a bait shack and fish tables, is well equipped for fishing. Modest surf near the pier encourages bodyboarding; at the pier's base, Sharky's provides food and drink.
