Santa Monica offers your best chance (we believe) to see celebrities. (We've seen Britney Spears, David Hasselhoff, Sean Penn and many more during casual visits). Actors and actresses like to go to Santa Monica to shop, enjoy the beach, dine at the restaurants, and take their tots or children for outings. It is the closest beach city with vibrant shopping, dining and entertainment for all ages to Hollywood studios where films and television productions often take place. Wealthy Beverly Hills, Malibu and the general area of Santa Monica are all spots to keep your eyes open on celebrity watch. But honestly, do go to Santa Monica for a beach vacation that provides urban pleasure, access to the Hollywood and Universal Studios tours, and a lot of entertaining sights and sounds. From the get-go you'll find the action is all near the beach in Santa Monica.
Let the fun begin with the Santa Monica Pier and its Pacific Park. In addition to a Ferris Wheel powered by the sun's rays, you'll find all sorts of amusement rides on top of the pier overlooking the Santa Monica Bay. With the Santa Monica mountain range hugging the coast to the north, the views are astounding. The pier isn't just about a carnival atmosphere, though that surely is the feel you get. There are kiosks with souvenir gifts, artists, a miniature golf course, and indoor table games such as air hockey in an arcade. Several restaurants with view dining also provide an opporunity to relax and watch the sailboats and surfers. Outdoor patio deck dining assures fresh air for those needing a refresher.
Ocean Blvd. is the street that overlooks the Pacific Ocean and bay, offering glistening views of the beaches and ocean below. Sitting hilltop, the street is lined with shopping and dining, and a long park with lush, green grass, sculptures, memorial plaques, statues, some homeless people, and lots of tourists wandering around and gazing at the views. This is the boulevard where many hotels are situated and charge for their promised "ocean views rooms or suites."
From the pier and the beach, head toward Third Street Promenade, the downtown entertainment, food, and shopping plaza closed to cars where you can shop in an entertaining environment. Street artists often entertain with rock music, mime, balloon art and a variety of unique and delightful pleasures that will make you smile.
Very close location to Los Angeles International Airport, this is a kid-friendly vacation destination featuring swings & playgrounds on the sand! Kids love Santa Monica and the entertainment and fun make adults feel like kids, which is one reason it's so popular. When visiting, you can wander on foot, jog, ride a bike, or take to roller blades to head south and check out the neighboring Venice Beach with its famed Muscle Beach. For culutural enhancment, be sure to visit nearby The Getty Museum atop the hill and The Getty Villa in Pacific Palisades, right next door to Santa Monica. For local entertainment, you don't need to drive to these world class venues. Santa Monica features a vibrant art scene and has its own art museum. Also of interest are historic buildings and unique architecture you can see on a walking tour of the city. Public bus service along the waterfront near hotels connects you with the Hollywood tours, other beaches, and all the points of interest you want to check out. In fact, people will tell you that parking a car is one of the greater challenges in Santa Monica. Once you are suitably parked, plan to get around on foot. Or leave your car at the hotel if you like and ask your concierge or hotel front desk what buses to take to get you to your destination.
