This is a shopping and eating street, not a kids' destination. Reviewers say parking is hard, so plan where the car goes, and note it is a longer walk from the beach than it looks. Crowds are steady, which several describe as feeling safe. Shops run expensive and quality varies.
Trendy walkable street named for Abbot Kinney, the developer who built the original "Venice of America" — canals and all — starting in 1905. Today's boutiques, ice-cream shops, and weekend food stalls line what was once a working commercial strip in his planned beach town.

Abbot Kinney is a great bustling street you can walk down and see a bunch of hip expensive shops. There are plenty of clothing stores and retraunts along the boulevard. Lots of shoppers so feels pretty safe. It is a bit far of a walk from the beach though and parking may be hard so plan ahead!
