Although problems when they were first constructed, the rehabilitaion of the Venice Canals has left an opportunity for a lovely afternoon walkabout. Originally built in 1906, the system of canals flow around gorgeous beach town style houses. Multitudes of flora bloom everywhere adding pops of color to shrub lined walkways. Paddle boards plus an eclectic mix of row boats and canoes line the shores. A slow sunny stroll around the Venice Canals is a perfect way to lounge the day away while gawking at prime real estate.
