Venice Beach Guide: 6 Things To Do & See

No trip to Venice Beach is complete without seeing bodybuilders in action. Both spectators and athletes flock to Muscle Beach Venice to check out some serious lifting. Think you have what it takes to enter the pit? Think again. Fitness aficionados like Arnold Schwarzenegger, Dave Draper, and Larry Scott spent their glory days getting ripped here. Now, top bodybuilders show off their skills in front of hundreds of people every day. After watching, you might be inspired to renew your gym membership—or you might get so discouraged that you’ll want to grab an ice cream right after.
