Venice California: Resort, to Oil Town, To Slum to Resort Again
More than anywhere in SoCal, the landscape of Venice California has changed: from Venice of America, a luxury resort, to oil boom town, to a polluted slum to the funky, vibrant tourist attraction that it is today.
The Beautiful Venice Canals
One of the most beautiful things to see in Venice California is the Venice Canals Historic District. It is one of Los Angeles’s finest residential neighborhoods and tourist attractions.
LA Tourist Attraction: Venice Beach and Pier
Venice Beach and its 1,310 foot pier is one of the more popular tourist destinations in Southern California and it was once an amusement pier on a much grander scale than it’s neighbor – the Santa Monica Pier – a couple miles to the north.
