Sit outside with a cup of coffee and enjoy the peaceful canal with birds, turtles, manatee (Jan/Feb) and an occasional boat. Although we are on the canal we don't have a dock or dock access but if you are interested in bringing your boat for the visit, we know neighbors that may rent their dock space for an additional fee. A kayak and boat launch is just on the other side of the canal in Marina/Legacy Park and Boat ramp on E. Venice Ave.

Biking, jogging or walking is so popular from this location because it is safe and convenient. Right out the backdoor and onto the Legacy Trail and Venice Beach is 2 miles by car and 1.5 miles by bike or walking on the trail.
