On Monday morning, a man left a "suspicious package" next to a port-a-potty in a Venice Beach parking lot. LAPD responded to the call from a witness who stated the man tried to get into the locked bathroom (port-a-potty), and when he couldn't get the locked door open, he left a briefcase on the ground near it and walked away.

Surfing at the Venice Beach Pier on January 11, 2023. Video edited from our Instagram Story footage of this day.

Dangerous marine conditions are expected tonight through Wed night, with NW Gales likely and large steep seas. In addition, high surf will affect many beaches, along with strong rip currents.

Jump into spring with us at a beach cleanup from 10am-12pm on the northside of the Venice Pier! We will be collecting trash off of our coasts and engaging in a morning of community and connection with fellow volunteers like you.
