Santa Monica Vacation Guide
This is a beach community along the southern California coastline on the western part of the Los Angeles area. The Pacific Ocean is the western neighbor and thus there are many surfing beaches. Although the beach does not have great waves for surfing, it does have good white sand and overall nice weather which makes for great beach relaxing. Summer temperatures are generally into the eighties daytime and fifties in the evening with a breeze off the ocean beginning in mid afternoon. Winter temperatures drop to only the forties and fifties daytime and the mid forties in the evening.
The Pacific Coast Highway runs through Santa Monica, with a wonderful scenic view as you head towards Malibu... cruising past surfers and beach goers.
Housing costs are quite high in this beach community and especially near the beach you will find multi-story apartments and condominiums.
Santa Monica is well known for its Pier. The Santa Monica Pier, which was originally built back in 1909, has had it’s ups and downs over the years and has now been rebuilt and is still a strong part of Santa Monica. Don't miss the Drum Circle on the beach at dusk on Sunday nights. Also on Sundays is the Arlington West Memorial from sunrise to sunset.
If the pier is not for you. There is also Third Street Promenade. Approximately 2-3 blocks east of Ocean and Broadway. It's an open shopping area filled with all the latest restaurants/clubs & shops. It's a great place to people watch!

It began with one person...Alina (alitoronto), contacted me asking where she should stay and what should she do while she was here in Los Angeles, CA for a work project.
