Iconic place. If you are not into working out while others are watching - do the watching bit ???? everyone is super friendly and it's tons of fun! Trying out the rings is not to be missed though!

Venice Beach is world famous for its funky folks, but it’s at least as well known for Muscle Beach, home to amateur and professional bodybuilders alike.

This stretch of Venice Beach has all manner of physical fitness going on, right there, where everyone can be inspired. Or just admire the view , whichever works for you. Read more

Muscle Beach Venice has always had a bodybuilding emphasis with its outdoor gym . Here's a video of Jay Cutler working out here in 2007: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrceNI6UUmc.

Forget pull ups, parallel bars , and rope climbing you n3rds. Paddle tennis is where it's at..

The guys here don't mess around and are absolutely huge ???? ????. There's a delicious candy spot right next to there also. The irony is real

It was cool to see and of course I suckered myself into buying a muscle shirt nextdoor. Not a lot of guys working out and the one's there were just average joes you see at any old gym .

Pretty much what you’d expect. Some jacked dudes and dudettes pumping that iron. It’s an ego stroker, for the attendees and a curiosity for the onlookers.

Iconic !! A must see during summer.

An iconic part of venice beach and worth checking out.

Perfect location, "perfect" people

There's always something to catch your eye over here.

Go in the early AM if you want to try things out while no one is around.

Great place for seeing some eye candy bodybuilders working out.

Great place to people watch . Prepare for the unexpected.

I like sexy and hot guys here

Great people watching !

Good to get a tan while working out

Cool. Just remember.... EVERYONE wants a TIP for a photo.

It's an outdoor gym on the beach , come on!

Go there to watch other people lift things up and put them down.

do some pull ups for good luck

They need to spruce up the equipment. It was old and rusty.

Lots of dudes doin fitness stuff

thought it was bigger

Pump iron with the most jacked guys in California.

Not what it used to be. Not many people working out. Not great for tourists .

It's not like the old Frankie & Annette movies . Ok.

$15 to park

Lift things up and put them down

no speedo, no entry

Get ripped bitch!

Muscle Beach Venice ....Just So So

Sensação única de treinar aqui em Venice. Academia complete. ????????

Überbewertet, ein Haufen gefälschter Sonnenbrillen zu kaufen. Die glorreichen Zeiten scheinen vorbei zu sein, Überlaufen von Obdachlosen, was nicht schlimm ist aber sicherlich dem Gesamtbild schadet.

Можно даже позаниматься под гостеприимным калифорнийским солнцем????

Que tal playita ah......re good!!!
