I love this place , many pretty colors, plants and flowers even the houses alongside the canal with their colors patio sets of chairs . It's nice and quiet for a walk with your dog and kids. They filmed the movie Valentines Day here I remember Ashton Kutcher on that bridge heartbroken ๐Ÿ’”. It's a nice stop and stretch your leg from driving along the PACIFIC coast of California. I highly recommend . Venice Beach is at the end of the canal . โค๏ธ ๐Ÿ˜ ๐Ÿ’– โฃ๏ธ

The Venice canal are some the most interesting place to know at the Los Angeles city. This area of Los Angeles have a lot of houses in small places, most of them near to those canals, with walks between them and the houses. Many of them are beautiful and stylish, with beautiful flower gardens, hottubs, barbecue grills etc. Over the canals also have beautiful bridges with arch forms, for use of cars and people. Certainly it is a good place to go, use spare times and enjoy it. I recommend it.

Very nice and cozy spot. Quiet and peaceful. It has a little sidewalk to walk around and enjoy the scenery especially while jogging. this is really nice area to live in with a few minutes walk to the beach. However, I lowkey feel bad that this is also part of someones backyard.

The canals are a hidden gem. I've been here a couple of times and never see people walking around. It is a beautiful place to see in person as well as to take pictures. There are so many good spots. A plus is that it's free. The only bad thing is the parking, you're lucky if you find one on the stree, you really have to look for it or park in a parking lot.

Not a place to picnic. Actually a residential area for a nice walk.

Are you actually able to ride in the canals? If so, how much is it to rent a canoe?

Bianca Rodriguez | Aug 28, 2018
Sunny Patel | Aug 28, 2018

No, the canoes that are there are private property. If you convince one of the home owners, they could possibly let you rent one. Or you bring your own

Is there a way to rent a boat so you can got out on the canal ?

Tess Andrews | Aug 28, 2017
Lincoln Stewart | Aug 28, 2017

Not that I'm aware of. It's a residential area, and though many of the people who live there have boats, I'm unaware of a rental outlet. Also, I believe the canal district is better seen from shore. The sidewalks and bridges are right next to the sites whereas the water is so low you wouldn't be seeing anything interesting, just water.

This is a wonderful place to have a picnic.

No, they dont have boat rentals. Only the people who live on the canals have docks and ride their boats around. It's a great walk though! Gorgeous homes.

Where is handicap parking

Mark Basson | Aug 28, 2018
Lincoln Stewart | Aug 28, 2018

The canals are basically public streets (several square blocks) that people walk through. The perimeter are normal public streets that you can park on temporarily (not overnight without permit). Any parking spot in the canal district is just as advantageous to accessing the canal as any other spot. I don't believe there are handicap designated spaces, just as there aren't on regular streets where you live. Hopefully that makes sense.

Can I bring my own kayak and get into the canals?

Jenn Hughes | Aug 27, 2021
Aqusa Rehman | Aug 27, 2021

It's a great question but as far as what I saw was people live there and they have their own Kayaks and boats parked in the front. I am not sure outsiders will be allowed. Also because of pandemic you cant go down and walk along the canals because streets r too narrow for social distance. On my recent visit we parked 3 blocks down and just walked over the 3 bridges and enjoyed the view

Can you ride a bike there?

Carol Menke | Aug 28, 2018
Scott Derringer | Aug 28, 2018

Some people do ride their bikes along the canals, but it is not allowed. We saw a security guard kick some people out because they were riding their bikes there. Unfortunately, the paths are narrow and bike riding is dangerous to pedestrians. It's best to stick to the Venice Beach boardwalk if you want to ride your bike.
