The canals are located just about a 5 minute walk from Venice Beach. This is a residential area with beautiful, unique and colorful homes along the canals.
The area has been featured in several movies, TV shows and music videos. Do you recognize them from any of your favorites?
The Venice Canals were built in 1905 by the founder of Venice (the Los Angeles one) Abbot Kinney. The trendiest shopping street in Venice also bear's his name, Abbot Kinney Blvd is a shopping haven, a spot to see and be seen.
Many of the canals were filled during the 1920s when the area underwent major development and new streets and houses were built.
Then a few decades later the canals were left quite uncared for, until the '90s when some developers were reminded of their potential and the area underwent a major clean-up. Many of the houses you'll see along the canals are new and have a seven digit price tag.
On a beautiful sunny day, the Venice Canals are a must see for any visitor to the neighborhood.
