Venice Beach

Hilary Duff shot a video here, Jim Morrison and the Doors and bandleader Benny Goodman both got their careers started here, and now it is the place  actors Jane Fonda, Viggo Mortensen and Elijah Wood call home.

It’s Venice Beach, the free-spirited beach resort town beloved for its Bohemian character, boutiques, street performers, artists, fortune tellers on the boardwalk and as a stellar place for people-watching (not to mention star-gazing)!

Though many of the canals (created to echo those in Italy) are long since filled in, this year-round street carnival still has a few of the lovely canals, now lined with some of the most desirable homes in the city.

There is no place quite like Venice Beach - and you have to see it to believe it!

Do you know?*

Among the charming Art Deco storefronts of Venice are some unusual buildings. One of the strangest is shaped like an instrument used to aid vision. What is it?

Dozens of movie scenes and TV shows have been filmed in Venice. Can you name two?
