Description
Beyond the packed boardwalk, grass, skaters, Police Station, swing sets, basket and racquet ball courts, graffiti wall and sand crowds of people from all over the world come to swim in the ocean water at Venice Beach in a hot summer day. In this photo, hundreds of bathers, male and female, young and old, and as far as the eye can see, are having fun playing in the sand and in the ocean. Photograph dated August 2002.
