Santa Monica
Santa Monica stands as the premier coastal retreat for both Los Angeles and its encompassing county. The city boasts stunning vistas, basking in perpetual sunlight and a vast stretch of shoreline. A mere 15 miles from downtown LA, it annually welcomes over seven million tourists. Vibrancy pulses through Santa Monica, propelled by the rhythmic ocean waves and the bustling pedestrian haven of downtown, lively well past dark. The maritime essence thrives at Palisades Park, situated on a seaside bluff overlooking the Pacific Coast Highway and Santa Monica State Beach. A visit remains incomplete without a stroll along the Santa Monica Pier, also marking the end point of Historic Route 66. This tourist haven embodies countless Southern California getaways, featuring carnival rides and boundless sea views.
