Join Venice Oceanarium for a shared complete reading of the book, Moby Dick, by the Breakwater Rocks on Venice Beach.  

A Whale of a Tale on Venice Beach! Fall is upon us and soon it'll be time to get cozy in a comfy sweater and bundle up in your favorite beach blanket for an annual Venice Beach tradition!

Join us for this FREE family friendly event that's been running for 29 years straight. The reading takes place between Nov. 23 - Nov. 24 from sunrise to sunset.

We like to consider this a "Do It Your Way" interactive gathering. Arrive when you please, stay as long as you like and listen to or read from Herman Melville's masterpiece, Moby Dick.

If you have a favorite chapter you'd like to read to our guests, please email moby@veniceoceanarium.org and let us know which one. We'll do our best to coordinate with you but please understand we won't be able to pause the reading for your arrival.
