South Venice Beach

South of Washington Blvd, the throng dissipates and the golden sands unfurl in a more pristine manner. Waves roll in consistently and are ideal for bodysurfing. Volleyball games erupt at a moment’s notice. Parking is an issue, which makes it a mostly local scene. Bike and crash it.
