    Iconic place. If you are not into working out while others are watching - do the watching bit 🤗 everyone is super friendly and it's tons of fun! Trying out the rings is not to be missed though!

    Venice Beach is world famous for its funky folks, but it’s at least as well known for Muscle Beach, home to amateur and professional bodybuilders alike.

    Muscle Beach Venice has always had a bodybuilding emphasis with its outdoor gym. Here's a video of Jay Cutler working out here in 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrceNI6UUmc.

    Forget pull ups, parallel bars, and rope climbing you n3rds. Paddle tennis is where it's at..

    It was cool to see and of course I suckered myself into buying a muscle shirt nextdoor. Not a lot of guys working out and the one's there were just average joes you see at any old gym.

    Pretty much what you’d expect. Some jacked dudes and dudettes pumping that iron. It’s an ego stroker, for the attendees and a curiosity for the onlookers.

    Not what it used to be. Not many people working out. Not great for tourists.

    Überbewertet, ein Haufen gefälschter Sonnenbrillen zu kaufen. Die glorreichen Zeiten scheinen vorbei zu sein, Überlaufen von Obdachlosen, was nicht schlimm ist aber sicherlich dem Gesamtbild schadet.
