cftDecember 28, 2015Fantastic for a walk, you may see things like a bluegrass music garden rehearsal. Get a bike and don't hesitate to go to the Marina. Venice beach is a must see, but could do with a cleanup.
KennethMarch 14, 2016Worth a visit for a short stroll if your in the area... Would be cool to own one of these one day! Relaxed feel about the houses and on a sunny day it's a great visit to break up the crazy beaches

Man-made canals built in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney as part of his Venice of America plan. Before 1929 the area was approximately three to four times as large as today. Perfect for a stroll or run
- Bruce HudsonJuly 30, 2015The light changes daily. Sometimes foggy, mostly sunny. Great sunsets from the eastern side. There is a boat parade each December. Lots of cameras - tourists, professionals & the occasional film crew.
Hanna AvlasJune 14, 2023Such an inspiring peaceful spot near (and in contrast to) noisy and messy Venice beach. 🫶🏻 I love walking around, observing cute houses on cute canals streets, and dreaming of moving here one day 😌
- Wejdan ✨November 30, 2015What a great place!! Nice view,cute homes, and quite. You'll find yourself walking for hours. A must visit in the area!
Adriano TadaoDecember 1, 2016For sure the nicest place with house of the entirely Los Angeles. I need to confess that I leaved this place if a big desire to buy a house there! Just amazing.
Katherine M.October 8, 2014Disarmingly lovely and placid neighborhood in the midst of wild Venice. The houses and the interconnecting canals they perch on were built in 1905. Many residents have boats moored out front.
Great place for a walk or run, just watch out for dog poop that didn't get picked up. Also a nesting area for ducks during the spring and summer months.
It’s a lovely place to talk a walk. The canals are public access but most of the docks are privately owned.
Priyanka RameshJanuary 9, 2017Straight out of a storybook. Its absolutely beautiful; the canals are framed with cute houses on either sides, and bridges decorated in little lights.
Ric SotoFebruary 24, 2018After walking by the homes, beachfront and restaurants follow the canals to the Ballona Wetlands. Restoration efforts continue to pay off .
Christina ChinFebruary 5, 2017Cute area with cool unique homes to look at..kinda feel like a peeping Tom, being able to see into ppl homes
- Selena VidyaApril 8, 2013Great architecture and feel. It's like a little, gorgeous hideaway from the noise and people of Venice. There are lots of people walking dogs though...
Juston PayneJanuary 8, 2012One of the most distinct places in LA, and also one of the best to stroll for a few hours. The houses' architecture is fascinating. Beware of marauding flocks of geese. They will snarl at you.
Kali KrossJanuary 23, 2012My college friend & I used to grab Jamaican food, drive over to the Canals, & sit on one of the bridges as we talked and bonded. Come to think of it... This would make a great date!
Heidi RiebsMay 1, 2015Awesome place for an evening walk. A definite must-do at Christmas time - The bridges are decorated.
Visit early in the morning for sunrise or a foggy vista. Added bonus: no crowds.
Walk the canals just after sunset. It's a different place! You can hear people enjoying wine and laughter. I know it sounds a bit cheezy but it's worth doing.
HowAboutWeApril 14, 2011Not only is this a romantic walking destination, but it's one of LA's best running paths as well. Catch the sunset at the beach and you're guaranteed another date.
Andrea PeixotoAugust 20, 2019Beautiful place for a promenade. It's a quiet and peaceful oasis. Love this place!
nikkiAugust 12, 2017historic district modeled after Venice, Italy. dedicated community of young people, artistic decorators, and 420 advocates
- Darkest Hour ApparelJuly 31, 2020Beautiful to see if you’re visiting the area. Nice to walk around and take pics.
KatMarch 22, 2012beautiful location; free parking nearby. the houses are fun to look at, makes for a nice stroll with someone special
Nouf - ClosedAugust 29, 2018Cool place to take photos in, but u can’t ride the small boats. Not worth visiting.
Michelle MorenoJanuary 2, 2014😊Endless ideas... So much time, art, and passion... Thank you to all for the addition to the beauty of life...
Stefan SMarch 31, 2018The view is nice, but doesn‘t remind me at all of europe ;) But still nice here
Hart LamburMarch 11, 2013Get my sister to give you an architectural tour of the canals. Amazing place to spend an afternoon in Venice.
Jon SanchezDecember 28, 2015It is hard to really see the lights unless you walk. you can drive but there is only one road, which is a one way.
Food @ baja cantina (down the st) just good - but the overall feel is very nice. Great for tourists or visitors
Riccardo DaidoneAugust 12, 2014Nothing compared to the real Venice, anyway very cool and relaxing spot!
Andrew RamseySeptember 13, 2016Everyone stops to take pictures at the first one. There are like 4. Keep walking to get an unencumbered view
