Editorial Review for Ocean Front Walk – by Mary Weatherup
In Short
Tourists and locals of all shapes, sizes and piercings cruise this renowned boardwalk at all hours. Weekends are the busiest, from the turban-wearing, guitar-playing man on rollerskates weaving in and out of the crowds to the oiled-up hard bodies passing by the tattooed set. Find everything from tie-dyed T-shirts to advice from the self-proclaimed "world's greatest wino/sex counselor." Street performers juggle chainsaws and ride unicycles in front of beachfront cafes and shops peddling typical souvenirs.

One of the best free attractions in LA (well, if you dont count the money youll invariably pay to park), this is a great spot for tourists and locals alike. It can be a great place to get together with old friends, to go on an inexpensive date or just to relax in the summer sun. Check out all the freaks, the bodybuilders and everyone in between. Tourists can get good deals on all sorts of souveniers and t-shirts, but do shop around a little before making a purchase
Pros: people watching, for locals & tourists
Cons: nightmarish parking, no great food there
