The Santa Monica Pier is located at the end of Colorado Street and is described as a double jointed pier. Take a ride on the historical 100-year-old carousel and be mesmerized by the 44 handcrafted horses. With beautiful views of the ocean, the pier contains an amusement park and eateries. Being so close to Hollywood, the Santa Monica Pier has been the backdrop to many movies over the years.
A neighborhood of Los Angeles, the city of Santa Monica is a little bit urban and a little bit beachy. Bike along the ocean on the bike path, learn to surf on the gentle waves, fish from the pier, shop the swanky shops, watch for celebrities while dining, and browse the many galleries.
