Hvað á að taka með
Beach
As our guests, we have beach towels, beach chairs, a surf board and boogie board. However before you venture off to the beach, plan plan plan. From flip flops to sunscreen, water bottles, food, to sun hats or caps, light jacket or shawl. The weather can change since it is the beach. Also take some cash or your credit card for parking at the beach. If you want to walk to the beach, walk westbound on Lake past Lincoln traveling on Brooks past Abbot Kinney, and you will hit the beach. 10-15 minute walk.

Parking Tickets
Although we have plenty of parking outside our house (albeit overnight parking permit), if there's an important advice I can give to travelers, read the street signs! Venice is a part of the City of LA -- which is notorious for parking tickets. So anywhere you go, make sure to read the signs and put money on the meter.
