Venice Beach Live Cam – South Boardwalk, Los Angeles

Welcome to Venice Beach, California. This 24/7 live cam shows the south section of the world-famous Venice Beach Boardwalk, officially Ocean Front Walk, in Los Angeles.

Venice was founded in 1905 by developer Abbot Kinney as a seaside resort inspired by Venice, Italy, complete with canals, some of which still survive. Today the boardwalk is one of the most colourful places in Southern California, packed with street performers, artists, vendors, cafes and murals. Nearby, Muscle Beach's outdoor gym, the Venice Skatepark and basketball courts draw crowds of spectators.

What you'll see

• Skaters, cyclists and rollerbladers on the bike path
• Street performers and sidewalk vendors
• Sunsets over the Pacific Ocean

Weekends are the liveliest time, especially on warm afternoons. Mornings can be grey in late spring and early summer, thanks to the coastal marine layer, while autumn often brings the warmest, clearest days. The stream is provided by Ready When You're Ready.
