"What's a trip to Venice without a stop at the famed "Muscle Beach"? Stop and gawk (or giggle) at the outdoor weightlifting area, but plan to work your body at the rest of this amazing and free outdoor recreation facility. From pick up games of basketball, hand ball and paddle tennis to a gymnastic moment on the rings and bars, this sweet little spot has the best reasons to sweat, with a view to boot." - The Branding Farm
