Venice Beach Boardwalk
Skaters, surfers and street performers on a live webcam where LA meets the Pacific.
About this view
Venice Beach is LA's open-air stage: the boardwalk where bodybuilders, buskers, skaters, artists and eccentrics have performed for a century, with the Pacific as the backdrop. This live webcam watches the parade from Venice's beachfront.
Morning belongs to surfers and joggers; by noon Pacific time the boardwalk economy is in full voice, and the famous skate park bowls draw crowds until the light fails. Sunset gathers everyone to face the same direction for ten silent minutes. Then the drum circles start.
People-watching aside, the ocean earns the frame: winter swells send real surf to Venice's breakwater, and the sunsets here are the classic California postcard, roughly 5–8 pm depending on season.
