SIGN UP FOR A SURF LESSON
While you’re at the beach, take advantage of the waves to pick up a quintessential SoCal skill—surfing. Skating and surfing have been a huge part of this L.A. neighborhood’s culture since the 70s. So what better way to feel closer to the community than trying a popular local activity? 

There are plenty of surfing schools and coaches who are more than willing to help out an eager student. Whether you’re a beginner or an advanced surfer, this thing to do in Venice, CA is a no-brainer if you’re up for a good time.

High Rooftop Lounge at Hotel Erwin 🌟
Beachside rooftop bar with chill vibes and epic sunsets.

From the roof terrace at the lovely Hotel Erwin rooftop bar, you get some amazing views over the Pacific Ocean and Venice Beach.
Being the only rooftop in Venice, High Rooftop Lounge feels a lot like a continuing of the beach below, with lounge sofas and large umbrellas. The only difference might be that up here you also have infrared (and blankets) keeping the heat up on chilly nights.

The rooftop bar offers a good selection of well made specialty cocktails and different Californian beers, along with some really tasty bar bites and a weekend brunch. The menu even includes sun screen, so visits during sunny days is no problem at all.

Expect a great lounge vibe on the terrace, perfect for relaxing drinks in the sun. And at night, there are often live DJs picking up the pace a notch.
