StreetParkingMapMake a map 1 Venice Boulevard
My first choice is the south side of Venice, heading east after turning around at Abbot Kinney where permitted. I usually find street parking if I’m okay walking a few blocks.
VENICE
Parking near
Erewhon &
Abbot Kinney.
Here’s the route I use when I’m heading to Erewhon Venice.
Skip the Erewhon lot.
Even with valet, it’s a circus. Coming westbound on Venice, watch for cars backing up from Erewhon and blocking the right lane.
Where I try instead
Otherwise, turn right onto Abbot Kinney. I rarely find a street space there, but take one if you spot it.
2 Meters by Salt & Straw
I usually keep going until Salt & Straw, then turn right onto California Avenue. Immediately on your right are the parking strips along South Irving Tabor Court. Follow those meter spaces toward Palms Boulevard; this is where I tend to have better luck.
3 Electric Avenue for free parking
If you reach Palms Boulevard without finding a spot, turn left, then left again onto Electric Avenue and sweep back the other way. I try both sides for free street parking. Watch for posted restrictions if you venture into the neighborhood; our LA parking sign quiz covers how to read them.
Check the signs for your space and entire stay.
