Menu for Santa Monica Pier in Santa Monica, CA

Santa Monica Pier is fantastic place to visit both for tourists and locals. I'm sure locals don't come here on a busy weekend... evening but our friends who live in Malibu come here quite a bit when its not crowded. It really is a fun and historic place...from being the last stop on Iconic Route 66 to the food shops available, street food, street performers and fantastic sunsets,this pier is huge with tons of life and activities.. You can easily spend 4 hours here so plan accordingly. The parking can betricky as the weekends are very very busy but there are many underground nearby parking lots and if you don't mind taking a walkthere is lots of parking deeper into Santa Monica away from the beach. The pier is just lots of fun and easily top destinationwhen visiting Southern California. Also, the cost of trinkets and souvenirs is not that high since there is a lot ofcompetition. Overall people are very friendly and patient.. everyone is here to enjoy themselves and eventually wait for thebeautiful sunset.. so plan to get your spot on the pier to record an amazing California sunset.

We went on a Sunday. Beautiful weather and plenty to do. It was just a day trip, so we only spent a couple hours there. I can't... wait to go back so we can take our time and experience more. Great place to spend the day. Very kid friendly, we took our 10year old. The beach is clean and wasn't too crowded. It was really nice and worth seeing, even with limited time. Read more
