Santa Monica

Santa Monica is a renowned seaside community located on Los Angeles western fringe and technically it is surrounded by the City of Los Angeles but is not part of it. The City of Santa Monica is a modern day resort community, making the most of its spectacular coastline and proximity to major attractions. It is an ideal holiday location for enjoying the vibrancy that Santa Monica offers as well as setting up a base for exploring the rest of Los Angeles.

Rising from the coastal dunes are the Santa Monica mountains. The combination of white sand and surf with vast natural hills and canyons makes Santa Monica a great location for the outdoor lovers. Whether you enjoy the thrill of cresting a wave or the sense of adventure trekking through red rock canyons you will be more than satisfied.

Santa Monica pier is one of the regions most recognised attractions and combined with Pacific Park amusement park and the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium, draws hundreds of thousands of people each year.

Stretching along the Santa Monica coast are numerous accommodation options including many that are rated 4 star or more. Many of these are also convenient to the Third Street Promenade which provides wonderful shopping, entertainment and dining options.
