Venice Beach is the best for people-watching hands down. Go to Rose Avenue and park around there, then walk to the beach. There is a walking-bike-rollerblading path that runs along the beach all the way from Malibu at the north to Manhattan Beach at the south. Rent bikes/skates and check that out, or just stroll around on foot. You'll see tribal drum circles, body builders, Harry Perry (the famous guy that plays his guitar while wearing roller blades), fortune tellers, tattoo artists, families, and people from all over the world. South of Rose it gets wierder and hippier, while north of Rose you have the Santa Monica promenade and amusement park on the pier. Lots of beachside cafes so you can sit and watch the show.
From the LA Parks Website (link below): "Street performers include instrumental musicians, singers, jugglers, acrobats, mimes, comics, magicians, prophets, fortune tellers, and other assorted entertainers. You will see people with tricolor hairdos, painted faces, weird tattoos, and outlandish clothing--or lack of it. The Boardwalk is a virtual sidewalk circus, a walk 'n' rolling skin show. There are lots of funky shops, too, if you want to eat out of the ordinary or buy an unusual souvenir or T-shirt. There are courts for basketball, handball, shuffleboard and paddle tennis. Muscle Beach is a special area where fanatic bodybuilders pump iron in a public show of strength." |
