Muscle Beach in Santa Monica

 The older muscle beach in Venice Beach is still there, and has more of the weight lifting equipment.  There is a new and different muscle beach in Santa Monica.  I would classify it as a Cirque du Soleil practice beach!  There was a section of squishy mats, like you would find in a playground, where teams were balancing on each other.  There were tons of metal beams, low and high to the ground.  Even bars, uneven bars, rings, and trapeeze wire made it as equipped as a gymnastics training centre.

 

There was one section where little kids and the general public could play, and another section where more experienced adults were "training".  We watched for quite a while and tried a few things!

I tried to download a video - but no luck, so we'll have to do with photos.
