This is one place where it’s almost as much about the people as it is about the surf or the sand. In fact, the eclectic Venice Ocean Front Walk can almost upstage the scene on the sand. As you’re strolling the boardwalk, keep your eye out for Harry Perry, the turbaned guitar player on roller blades who has appeared in numerous films and TV shows. This is also the spot to see the rubber-snake wrangler, the metal-ball-rolling, Speedo-wearing bodybuilder, the chainsaw juggler and a full complement of palm readers, folk artists and other colorful characters.
