Venice Canals Walkway

The Venice Canals Walkway is a quiet place to stretch the legs in the Venice Beach area of LA. Along both sides of these canals there walking paths between tightly packed homes and the water where you’ll spy small docks and colorful canoes, kayaks, and dinghies. Picturesque footbridges cross over the canals and connect them up for longer walks.

These canals were created in the early 1900’s to mimic the famous canals of Venice, Italy. The remaining canals in Venice (Sherman, Howland, Linnie, and Carroll) are a small subset of a much larger canal system that was created originally. Most of the old canals were filled in and paved over to create streets for driving and parking.

In 1992 the remaining canals were renovated to make them more attractive, safer, and a better habitat for the birds and other animals that use them.

If you are in Los Angeles, Venice, Santa Monica, or Marina Del Rey it would be easy to visit these unique and scenic urban canals. Its a short walk to the Venice Canals from both Venice City Beach and Venice Pier Beach.
