L A's attraction

Venice was the home of the first Shelby manufacturing plant in the USA. Carroll Shelby, an exciting sports car driver, decided to manufacture a car that would change the way we accelerate down the road today. In 1964, he transformed a Ford Mustang into a Shelby; the ground breaking street legal racecar and the rest is history.
After you have indulged yourself in the history of Venice Beach you should be soaked up by the atmosphere of all the entertainment around you. Here are some ideas of what to look for.
Venice Beach :
Moving south from the city of Santa Monica, the paved pedestrian Promenade becomes Ocean Front Walk and gets progressively weirder until it reaches an apex at Washington Boulevard and the Venice fishing pier. Although there are people who swim and sunbathe, Venice Beach's character is defined by the sea of humanity on the Ocean Front Walk, plus the bevy of boardwalk vendors and old-fashioned pedestrian streets a block away. Park on the side streets or in the plentiful lots west of Pacific Avenue.
For those renters that want to visit a more eccentric part of California, should drive down to Venice Beach. For those who planned on visiting Santa Monica should take the seven mile drive north to experience the differences between the two atmospheres. Much similar to Santa Monica, Venice Beach has its variety of live performances, artists, and astonishing scenery but what Venice Beach offers on top of these attractions is funkiness.
This carnival city runs all year round free of charge. Recently Venice Beach was rated the 3rd most unique cultural experience in the USA, behind San Francisco and New Orleans. Many people don't realize how electric, alternative, and culturally diverse the city has become. Through the years Venice Beach has been the birthplace to many famous American icons, here are two you may recognize.
