These beautiful canals are a poignant reminder of the original Venice, California as it was built by Abbott Kinney in the early 1900's! Not like anything else in L.A., walk through to enjoy sights of rowboats, antique bridges and the natural duck population in a residential setting. Absolutely charming. :)
