Venice Beach Boardwalk
I don't love the boardwalk as a place to linger, but I always walk it with visitors because nothing else prepares you for how LA mixes ambition and absurdity in the same block.
Chaotic, colorful, and utterly unlike anywhere else in America. Walk it once. The canals two blocks east are the payoff.
