And they want 10$ for a day pass. Well &#8211; i did some research and that is what i found: &#8220;The original Muscle Beach in Santa Monica was closed in 1959 due to difficulties in the maintenance and supervision of the facility.  Yet even to this day many of its patrons still frequent the actual setting of the original Muscle Beach on weekends to enjoy gymnastics as well as playing in the sea and sun.  While a new generation of gymnasts and fitness buffs congregate into the 21st Century at Muscle Beach in Santa Monica, some of the &#8220;old timers&#8221; from the golden era of Muscle Beach in the 1940s and 1950s still stop by.&#8221; This is what <a href=\"http:\/\/www.musclebeach.net\/\" title=\"Muscle Beach\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">http:\/\/www.musclebeach.net\/<\/a> said it is. Very well so it is now Muscle Beach Venice and it does not look good &#8211; at last the work out place. But next to it are lots of free toys for the big boys in the sand. <br \/>3 pictures of a street show and than it is over to the sand box for some action. That afternoon &#8211; at last the 30 minutes i did watch &#8211; was  kind of a competition going on. Who could do best on one of the toys.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/136.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"461\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/137.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"791\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/138.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"783\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/139.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"405\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <br \/>Check out the competition<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/140.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"352\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <br \/>OK weight west and bricks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/141.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"493\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/142.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"420\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/143.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"409\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/144.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"367\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <br \/>Lock at that!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/145.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"457\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/hastenteufel.name\/pix\/2013\/usa\/146.jpg\" width=\"550\" height=\"428\" alt=\"Muscle Beach Los Angeles\"> <br \/>The birds do not give a shit &#8211; that is fine with me.
