A Wellness Guide to Venice Beach

Muscle Beach
Since 1963, Venice’s Muscle Beach has been an iconic spot for some of the biggest names in bodybuilding. Professionals and actors such as Franco Columbu, Lou Ferringo, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and Frank Zane popularized the spot, and it remains a must-see for bodybuilding enthusiasts. The outdoor gym also provides some of the best people-watching, right in the heart of Venice Beach.
