The oldest and biggest resort in LA County, founded in 1875, Santa Monica is located on the shores of the Pacific Ocean between Venice Beach in the south and Malibu in the north.

From a wild beachfront in the past, Santa Monica grew into a sophisticated and a fun town which offers a variety of activities to everyone.

The liveliest beach in LA County is a 3.5 miles of yellow sand and palm trees, great for a walk on the beach, tanning, wind surfing or swimming.
Santa Monica Beach offers beach volleyball, jogging, biking and rollerblading along its popular 22 miles bike path.

Santa Monica pier was built in 1921 and features sea food restaurants, rides at Pacific Park amusement park with its famous ferris wheel, and many outdoor performances.

One of the main place to visit while here is 3rd. street promenade: a pedestrian street just a couple of blocks from Ocean Blvd. This strip offers shops, bars, restaurants, movie theatres, galleries, and street performers, which keeps the place crowded with locals and tourists even late at night.
