| What Beach Is In Los Angeles |
Venice Beach: Where the Wild Things Are
Let's start with the obvious: Venice Beach. It's like a circus, a gym, and a fashion show all rolled into one. You've got bodybuilders flexing harder than your brain after a Monday morning meeting, street performers doing things you didn't know were physically possible, and people watching that's better than any Netflix binge. Just be prepared for a crowd that's thicker than a California fog.
Tip: Read at your natural pace.
Santa Monica: The Classic Beach Vibe
If you're looking for something a bit more chill, Santa Monica is your jam. It's got the iconic pier, amusement park rides that’ll make you feel like a kid again, and a laid-back atmosphere that's perfect for people watching without the Venice Beach intensity. Plus, the sunsets here are straight out of a postcard.
Tip: Read actively — ask yourself questions as you go.

Just be prepared for some serious sticker shock when it comes to parking.
QuickTip: Read actively, not passively.
