Figtree's Cafe on Venice Broadwalk, home to freaks, charlatans, healers, prophets and tourists. Site of Muscle Beach, haven for hippies in the 60s and inspiration for the first skateboarders, Venice beach can feel like a timewarp. But with its mix of the beautiful people of LA's wealthy Westside, the homeless, urban downtowners and out-of-towners visiting for a day at the seaside, Venice offers a cross-section of all human life - much of it surgically enhanced.
