We spent the last week of our 2 week holiday at Venice Beach and Santa Monica. We stayed here last July also and loved it so much, we came back. It's so beautiful down by the beach even though we live near some of the most beautiful coastline in the world, It's great to visit the famous wide beaches in California. So many movie's have been filmed down here by the Santa Monica Pier. We hired bikes on both occasions and travelled along the bike path towards Malibu beach. There are some amazing Beach houses along the way. We stopped and had lunch at one of the cafes on the beach, I would highly recommend it to anyone, so relaxing!
this was our table, right in the sand!
One of my favorite Beach Houses
Looks just like Bay Watch
Walking up towards Shutters, my favorite beachside accommodation and restaurant

It looks like a fun place to visit. When I saw the roller coaster it made me think of the movie Lost Boys - one of my faves.
I'm yet to travel to USA but would like to one day :)
Looks like the BEST time! Love your photos! You should blow some of these up, they are fab!
