This is a live, streaming HD webcam from Venice Beach, California, just south of Santa Monica. Venice Beach is an eclectic, funky, and definitely unique place where sidewalk vendors line the boardwalk selling their wares, many of the items homemade; and street performers entertain the passing crowds by performing their unusual talents. The Cam can be operated by the viewer by clicking on the Control Cam button. One of the most interesting times to view Beach Cam is during the weekend, when up to 150,000 people visit a day.
