Lovely area.... Just walk around this "small Venice" to take time to look at the houses and the canal...

Cool place! Very quiet in the middle of the chaos of venice beach

Beautiful canals in Venice. Walk along the canals and small bridges while enjoying the amazing houses here.

Absolutely beautiful canals in the center of a lovely neighborhood. Nice place to take photographs and stroll around.... and the great part is: it is not crowded!

Venice is fantastic. The beach and the avenue behind this one, but also the interior with its canals and its wonderful houses. What a beautiful place!

Best place to get a boat ride with a private musician ever. Scooba diving here is also exceptional. Food is overpriced

A little bit of heaven right in the middle of hell!

Cool place designed by the guy who did rhe real venice in italy

Beautiful and peaceful here! It's gorgeous! Must visit!

If you go to Vegas and you end up at the Venetian... And you happen to be they're with somebody special... Then after you visit Madame Tussauds Wax Museum you have to take a ride in an authentic Venetian gondola. It's about $80 for a couple but totally worth the experience. Tray elegant!!! And the gondola drivers are hilarious. If you don't make it to Venice in your lifetime this will be the closest you'll get to the real thing. Super cool!

I think it is not as good as the picture.
Parking is really annoying.

Just like the pictures on here it is a beautiful and calm location...there are a lot of visitors though. We took some photos here and they came out gorgeous!

It's okay, nice walk if you don't have anything better to do, like I didn't have! It's artificially made and it's cute. But it lacks the authenticity of real, of course...

A photographers dream! If you can catch a sunset here you won't be disappointed.

I've visited the Canals few times before. In every visit I find new and intresting sights. While this area is a residential neighborhood and most of the residents don't want to be disturbed, there are some that enjoy the attention given to them by the tourists.

Nice little afternoon stroll. We thought it was a fairly unique place.

Magnificent !!! Blow of heart for these channels, beautiful houses and a must for those who pass in this sector

Very special place. Canals in Los Angeles City limits. It's an eclectic environment!

It s Surprising that a place this so quiet is so close to Venice beach. If you are in the area and want a nice tranquil walk this is a great place for it. Not a whole lot to do here but it s a great place to walk and talk.

This is the place to visit. For me much better than the beach next door.

Such a memorable place. The best was getting lost in the narrow walkways and canals after midnight. I was nervous but I noticed there are people on the streets at all times of the day. Later I found most suggest to see it at night because the stone figures and walls seem to come to life in the pale of moonlight.

Lived there for over 40 years... What can I say... It's Venice

Fun to walk through! Be careful of the bugs though.

Beautiful hidden gem of a neighborhood enclave. So serene yet surrounded by busiest avenues in Venice.

Stunning architecture. Unique. I love Venice beach altogether.

So beautiful and scenic.
A must for photos.
It's more Italy than Los Angeles.
I love it.

So nice and quiet! Beautiful walk by the water and all the gardens with delicious flowers and roses scented path!

A beautiful place to enjoy a socially-distanced walk

Very nice and relaxing near the madness of Venice Beach

Very nice walk around the canals, peaceful ambiance, lots of colors, plants/tress and lovely houses/mansions for sightseeing. Way different atmosphere than Venice Beach !

Great view of the man made canals. Can walk along the small sidewalk, cross bridges and take pictures. Some hotels/airbnb's no doubt around this area. Scenic and a site to see if you're visiting the city. We parked by Abbot Kinney (by Inteligensia coffee) and walked to the canals. Probably the best decision because parking can be tricky.

Update: We went to the Venice Canals in Feb 2019, and they were looking pretty weak. There isn't a lot of water and the canals seemed to have dried up, leaving some boats and canoes on soil (see pic). I was shocked to see this.

Awesome place and nice people in neighborhood. Such a cool spot to walk around. Hidden gem!

Beautiful place. Very LA. Hard to find parking though. Beware of cars coming out of garages and barreling down tight bridges.

It s as beautiful as they say it is. We walked around and looked at the cutest houses... it felt like we were in a movie.

Beautiful and romantic place for walking. Some public parking charge you $20, but you can find others with just $7

Beautiful place, thanks to the neighbors for allowing to visit the place.

A quiet residential place with a wonderful view. Immersed in nature, there are several canals and you can walk along the banks crossing wooden bridges surrounded by flowers and green palms. Very impressive with varied and in some cases very particular house architecture! To visit!

They look nice in the night time, people have been ruining them by throwing electric scooter's in there - different story- and are ruining the way it looks.

Very nice place, calm. Worth a look when you are on Venice beach.

Nice place to stroll around and enjoy the views. Plenty of picture opportunities.

Definitely worth the visit! This has to be in your LA list. It is a 25 minute walk if you walk across the Venice Boardwalk. The canals are dirty but it's worth strolling around the place for a bit, looking at the absolutely stunning houses by its side.

Very pretty hidden spot behind Venice beach. Quiet and lovely. Good spot for pictures. I discovered it really randomly.

This place is absolutely breathtaking, with unique houses surrounding the canals. A great place to go for a walk on a sunny day, you'll enjoy the great effort people have spent on their houses and some of them generous enough to leave great views for the passerbys. Also very close to Venice Beach.

It is a quiet area where the community is surrounded by canals. Not a lot of people are around except occasionally there are a few visitors and tourists so it is a good place to take an afternoon stroll.

It is certainly not Venice but it is really very nice, well cared for, silent ... A little oasis

A peaceful walk along the canals and some beautiful little houses. Lots of wildlife, and a rarity in the States, no cars. All the houses are immaculate with little tended gardens. Possibly out of the price bracket of any reality I know, but nevertheless lots of quirks and very relaxing.

Phenomenal wonderful place I loved waiting soon to sail in those waters.
