We have validated parking close by at 1501 Ocean Front Walk. Head west on Market Street, make a left on Speedway, and then an immediate right into the parking lot. Look for our parking attendants with the red shirts. We validate for one hour on weekdays, and weekends after 8 pm, except holidays.
The best place to park is in the main Venice parking lot it's cheaper than all the rest of them.
We used paid parking maybe 50 yards (?, maybe less) down the street right behind the cafe & it wasn't outrageously expensive (I can't remember the exact amount). Looking at the cafe, the lot(s) were down the street to the right.
Very close to the strand there is paid public parking just look for the signs.
