What can you do during your stay in Santa Monica?
Santa Monica - the city in the west of Los Angeles County in the US state of California - is located on the coast of the Pacific Ocean. It is located in the gorgeous Santa Monica Bay, south of Pacific Palisades, Malibu and Brentwood.
The city differs from many cities in the U.S. because Santa Monica has a historic downtown. The relaxed coastal paradise also offers more than 280 days of sunshine per year and is located only about 20 minutes west of downtown Los Angeles by car.
Outdoor adventurers, in particular, will find Santa Monica a wonderful vacation oasis with unique sunsets, varied bike tours and unforgettable views of the pristine beaches.
The historic Santa Monica Pier beckons for extended and relaxing hours on the Pacific West Coast. Plus, wild roller coasters and bumper car stalls - all overlooking the vast ocean. In the eight individual neighborhoods, you can experience the colorful and diverse life of the city up close.
In addition to the lively art scene, great restaurants, small weekly markets and many entertainment options, you will find excellent and charming hotels!
