Cheap and Free Los Angeles: A stroll through the Venice canals

One of the things I was most excited about on our trip to L.A. was the chance to walk around through the canals of Venice, CA — which was easy to do time and again as we stayed a mere half a block away at the Inn at Venice Beach (you can read my hotel review here).

If you haven’t made it to the secret little world of the canals yet, you can get a sneak peak with my video. And the next time you make it to L.A., remember the canals are less than a block from the Venice Beach boardwalk, with an entrance on Washington Blvd.

For most northern Californians, the Sonoma Coast is synonymous with wine tasting, fine food, spendy spas, and “grown up fun.” It’s not the first place that comes to mind when you think of an affordable family vacation.
