Enjoy the Coast on the Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica

The Santa Monica Pier, located near Santa Monica's westernmost point, is a popular tourist attraction. The public pier is packed with family-friendly activities, vibrant street performers, restaurants, and shops, as well as stunning views.

The Santa Monica Pier is the focal point of Santa Monica State Beach. With an amusement park, arcade, and various on-site dining options, it stands out among California piers. It also has a spectacular view of Santa Monica Bay in all directions, and the Marvin Braude Bike Trail connects it all. The Santa Monica Pier is also only the beginning of the city's attractions. On the other side of the Pacific Coast Highway from the pier, Bluff Park and the downtown district offer entertainment at all hours of the day and night.
