Santa Monica Beach

Santa Monica Beach

Santa Monica State Beach is one of the widest and most popular beaches in the Los Angeles area with everything from an amusement park on the pier to volleyball. The bike path goes for miles directly underneath the Santa Monica Pier north and south. This beach promises to keep the entire family entertained. On the pier, the Pacific Park amusement center offers a nine-story Ferris wheel that provides a bird's-eye view of the city and coastline. There is also a 1920s vintage carousel, plus skeeball, air hockey, pinball, video games and more. A bait and tackle shop on the pier serves fishing fans. South of the pier is the newly renovated Chess Park and the original Muscle Beach. Here you can either play a game of chess or work on your tan while swinging on the rings, climbing the rope, or doing pull-ups. There is also a smaller muscle beach for kids. There are free live concerts Thursday nights during the summer months.
