Venice Skate Park

I can't skateboard myself, but it’s a trip to see the talent and skill at this skate park on the beach. It draws all ages, from famous skaters to beginners. Just watch for a bit—or be bold enough to jump in yourself. Take a stroll north on the beach till you hit the rings and the tight rope at the Original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica. Now this is a sight to see. You’ll find people doing the craziest tricks on those things and just be mesmerized by their talent.
