Here is your quick reference list of the best things to do in Venice Beach, California for first-time visitors. I’ve included an interactive map, and you can find all of the additional details in the post!
The boardwalk is so over the top, I found the best way to approach this is with a game I call Boardwalk Bingo. Check off the following items to get Bingo, and reward yourself with one of the many food trucks (or drinks, if that floats your boat more than a fresh taco). 1.

Whether you want to surf, throw a Frisbee, or snooze in the sun, Venice Beach beckons young and old alike with its eternal sunshine and sparkling blue water. If you’re up for it, try theSegway tour around Santa Monica and Venice Beach. You get to see a little bit of everything, from Muscle Beach to the Pier.

The perk of this approach is exploring more of Venice on foot and enjoying a constant stream of colorful characters the city is renowned for. (Also, you can gets lots of steps on you...
Venice Beach has everything you could hope for in the food category, from beach shacks and casual spots to upscale dining. I’m more of a beach food girl myself, but to get a taste of the area, try doing a progressive food tour, and go behind the scenes of the Venice Beach culinary scene.
Yes, this is exactly how it sounds…transport yourself to Venice, Italyfrom the middle of southern California. They were created in the early 1900s by a millionaire so that he could bring a taste of Venice to the USA. For other California weekend options, check out 3 days in San Francisco and road tripping through Big Sur!
Budget Stay: I personally opted to stay at an VRBO vacation rental. The house was a shared space, and right of the Venice Boardwalk…awesome location and the host was super friendly!
