Ocean Front Walk is where you will find the alternative - or out-there - side of California... The Venice seafront comes to life as soon as the sun rises. Amateur anglers, all sorts of entertainers, sporty types with honed bodies, dropouts, tourists and homeless people declaiming the Bible to whomever will listen all rub shoulders here. On Muscle Beach, bodybuilding sessions get underway. Souvenir sellers, cafés, tattoo studios alternate on Windward Avenue.
