Is it safe to walk from Santa Monica to Venice Beach?
santa Monica and Venice beach are just a mile apart. The longest distance between the two is below 5 miles. The area is very safe…. never heard of any issues…

The two main areas to avoid in Venice I suggest are:
Castello neighbourhood eastern side as it's quite out of reach.
Santa Croce neighbourhood around the Santa Lucia railway station where some tourists have been victim of theft.
Santa Monica is a city, filled with shops, cafes, restaurants, bars, and lots of people all about (think Brighton on a sunny day). Malibu is a laid back, locals only, small town - not much to see except to take pictures at the Pier and watch surfers - enjoy the 27 miles of Malibu coastline on your drive up to SB.
