Rainbow coloured lifeguard towers, iconic marquee signs, and IG-worthy murals, it’s safe to say that Venice Beach in Los Angeles is one big Instagram trap – and we’re not complaining!

5. Colette Miller Wings
LA is dotted with eye-catching murals, but these angel wings by mural artist Colette Miller is one of the most photographed ones in the city. These LA murals are part of the artists’ GlobalAngelWings Project, and if you visit other cities in the US – you might come across another set during your stroll, too! This specific mural looks best photographed with a friend, so if you’ve got a photo buddy hanging around, be sure to have them pose alongside you.
Address: 453 Colyton St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA
6. Pink Wall at Paul Smith
Can anything get more millennial than a giant pink wall? Probably not. It may not seem special, but the lines for photo ops by this backdrop are crazy long – so best to visit in the morning to avoid getting in anyone’s shot.
Address: 453 Colyton St, Los Angeles, CA 90013, USA
7. Made in LA Wall

8. Disneyland LA
All smiles at the happiest place on earth!
