Join us as we explore in pictures this great American pastime.
A great American pastime is to get outside and skate the boardwalks along the beach. Whether you find yourself on the East Coast or West coast there are skaters enjoying the fresh air and sunshine!
Although Venice Beach is a fabulous spot for skaters, other boardwalks across the country from Ocean City in Maryland, Kemah Boardwalk in Texas, Santa Cruz Boardwalk, to Hollywood Beach Boardwalk in Florida. There are so many places to get outside and enjoy the fresh salty beach air!
It’s hard to say just where this hobby started but it easy to pinpoint the most famous of all boardwalks to find skaters, Venice Beach! The 2-mile-long boardwalk along the beautiful Pacific Ocean view is an experience anyone who loves to skate must seek out. Venice Beach even has a Skate Dance Plaza where you can find regular roller discos, and Venice Skatepark on a beautiful spot right next to the beach.
