Bound by a three-mile beach lapped by the rolling waves of the Pacific Ocean and covering eight walkable square miles, Santa Monica is LA’s sunshine beachside city. Here, urban and beach culture merge – you can ride the solar-powered Ferris wheel on Santa Monica Pier, visit some of the nearly 60 museums, galleries and creative venues, practice beachfront yoga or dine in a world-class restaurant.
