First for us to drive through was Santa Monica, and then we headed to the famous Venice Beach Boardwalk, parked and had a wander!
A very strange place, similar to Brighton, Newquay with a bit of Coney Island. Venice Beach is known for its canals, beaches and circus-like Ocean Front Walk, a two-and-a-half mile pedestrian-only promenade that features performers, fortune-tellers, artists, and vendors...also a lot of homeless, freaks, druggies and con artists! It was an experience, we can say we've been, but probably wouldn't return for a long period of time! It also has the famous Muscle Beach, this is an outdoor Gymnasium full of posing body builders!
We then got back in the car drove through the fantastic neighbourhood, Marina Del Ray, with its boulevards named Tahiti Way, Bora Bora Street...all these far off exotic places alongside a massive Marina. We continued to Drive through the bird reserve, down into Manhattan Beach and Hermosa Beach (These are the quaint town names rather than just the beaches) before heading back to Redondo Beach.
The beaches in California are beautiful, something that will definitely make us return!
