Los Angeles: Golden Wave Surf School on Venice Beach
Private and group surf lessons meet on the sand in Venice. Five other LA attractions offer a different kind of outing.
Surf lessons on the sand in Venice
Golden Wave Surf School brings surf lessons onto the sand at the foot of Washington Boulevard in Venice. Its mix of private and group sessions gives you a choice between individual instruction and learning alongside others; the school also lists intermediate coaching, kids camps, and surfboard and wetsuit rentals.
Choose the format before you plan the rest of your outing. For a family visit, ask which lesson or camp fits the children’s ages rather than assuming every option has the same requirements. Confirm the meeting point, equipment arrangements, and current lesson availability with the school before heading to the beach.
Looking for a different kind of LA outing? The five suggestions below range from open-top sightseeing and Hollywood Hills horseback rides to supercar tours, a historic funicular, and escape-room puzzles. They are separate ideas across the city, not stops on a walking route.
