Venice Beach is one of Los Angeles’ most iconic filming destinations, known for its vibrant boardwalk, colorful murals, bustling skate park, Muscle Beach, and lively beachfront atmosphere that has been featured in countless movies, commercials, and photo shoots. Because of its popularity and heavy public use, filming and photography at Venice Beach are regulated by the Los Angeles Department of Recreation and Parks, which requires permits for all film, television, and still photography projects intended for public exhibition. Permits are generally limited to weekdays (Monday–Friday) to minimize disruption, and productions must coordinate in advance for parking, crowd management, and other logistical needs. These regulations ensure that productions can capture the unique energy of Venice Beach while maintaining accessibility and safety for the public.
