The Rainbow and Cactus Mural located at 8304 Melrose Ave.

I always love a trip to sunny Los Angeles and often times during our adventures I come across a new favorite mural. There’s so many fun and colorful places and public art to photograph in La La Land.

Some of the best Los Angeles neighborhoods to hunt for murals are West Hollywood, Downtown, Santa Monica, Venice, Abbot Kinney Boulevard and more!

This blog post is a collection of murals I’ve found over the years in Los Angeles. I have included as much location information as possible so you can find them yourselves.

You can also hover over any image in this blog post and the exact location of the mural will pop-up!

Carrera Cafe on Melrose

It’s also right across the street from the famous pink wall. Carrera Cafe is located at 8251 Melrose Ave, Los Angeles.

The Famous Paul Smith Pink Wall

The funny thing about this wall is there’s always a guard patrolling the area and he won’t allow you to use your camera to take photos. They only allow cell phone photos - yep I’m not kidding! The Paul Smith Pink Wall is located at 8221 Melrose Avenue in West Hollywood.

FUN Mural on Abbot Kinney

This carefree and casual FUN mural is located on a half-wall at Navarre Ct and Abbot Kinney Blvd. There’s a Salt & Straw ice cream shop very close by so it would definitely be worth a visit.
