Venice Beach - California USA

Venice Beach - right next to Muscle Beach


4.5 backboard slaps - it would blow on a windy day


Pros - four full courts, all glass boards with nets, full markings and a variety of surfaces. Three are tarmac and the main show court has a rubber surface. A lot of serious players and talkers with a few big dunkers. They run a serious full court pick up game on the front court, so if you look like you can play, you will get a run! Lots of restaurants and bars and tacky souvenirs available!

Cons (Pros?) - It's right by the beach so it can be windy and you're going to need sunscreen. Lots of freaks around the area and after the game you can pop by the medical marijuana clinics to help with any injuries. One of the locals asked if I could hear and see dead people with my iPhone, because you know spirits like talking through TV man.
