Getting to Venice Beach beach walk by Uber

Question

If I want to get to the heart of the Venice Beach beach walk by Uber/Lyft, what “address” should I plug in as the “destination.”

Answer

To reach the heart of the Venice Beach Boardwalk via Uber or Lyft, it’s best to use a specific and well-known address close to the main pedestrian area where most of the shops, restaurants, and street performers are located. Venice Beach spans roughly from the Venice Pier to Windward Avenue, but the most central area is around the intersection of Windward Avenue and Ocean Front Walk.

Here are some practical destination options to plug into your ride-sharing app:

1800 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA 90291 – This is a central location right along the boardwalk and is close to many shops, eateries, and the skate park.
Venice Beach Pier – If you want to start your walk near the pier, entering “Venice Beach Pier, Venice, CA” in the app works well.
Windward Avenue & Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA – This intersection is widely recognized and puts you right in the middle of the boardwalk’s main activity.

Additional tips:

Venice Beach can get very busy, especially on weekends. The driver may prefer a specific pick-up/drop-off point on a nearby side street like Pacific Avenue or Dudley Avenue to avoid congestion.
If you are visiting during peak hours, confirm with the driver that they can safely stop close to your chosen address, as traffic and pedestrian density can make it tricky to pull over directly on Ocean Front Walk.
Once dropped off at the central area, you can easily walk along the boardwalk in either direction to explore shops, murals, street performers, and the skate park.

Using one of these addresses ensures you’ll be dropped off in the most vibrant section of Venice Beach, minimizing walking and maximizing your time at the boardwalk.
