Escape the city noise and traffic at the Venice Canals Walkway, part of the Venice Canal Historic District. The canals, built by Abbot Kinney in 1905, were intended to resemble the canals of Venice, Italy. They were drained and renovated into scenic walking paths in 1992. Enjoy a relaxing stroll on the paths and quaint bridges, pausing to admire the charming, architecturally diverse homes along the way. The tranquility of this area is notable, especially in comparison to the nearby Venice Beach Boardwalk.

  • A nice walk to have while in the area. Several bridges to walk on and take some pictures. Leave about 30 minutes for this.

  • Don't be fooled by the pictures, this place is not worth visiting. Its not horrible but ther ee just isn't anything special about the Canals and the drive to get to the Canals seems to go through...

  • Venice Canals is most definitely a must see if you happen to be in the area! It is such a beautiful and peaceful place to be walking around. The canals are so beautiful with the unique bridges, the houses are all so uniquely cute. A great place to be!
  • I love this place , many pretty colors, plants and flowers even the houses alongside the canal with their colors patio sets of chairs . It's nice and quiet for a walk with your dog and kids. They filmed the movie Valentines Day here I remember Ashton Kutcher on that bridge heartbroken 💔. It's a nice stop and stretch your leg from driving along the PACIFIC coast of California. I highly recommend . Venice Beach is at the end of the canal . ❤️ 😍 💖 ❣️
  • A visit to Venice is not complete without a stroll along these stunningly beautiful, almost always sunny canals. It's a great place for a walk and admire the palm trees, the cute little houses, the perfect reflections... If I can be honest, however, I get tired and bored pretty quickly. Everything is pretty much man made, it pleases the eyes not the mind or heart.
  • Lovely to walk through during the holiday season. Definitely less confusing than Venice in Italy. Some people decorate with lights and others don’t. Dog friendly and parking nearby. Nice to stroll at night. Free, so good for a pass time.
  • Very nice and cozy spot. Quiet and peaceful. It has a little sidewalk to walk around and enjoy the scenery especially while jogging. this is really nice area to live in with a few minutes walk to the beach. However, I lowkey feel bad that this is also part of someones backyard.
