    Santa Monica connects everything you love about the classic Southern California beach town with a vibrant cityscape full of adventure, art and style. Los Angeles’ coolest neighbor is nestled alongside the Pacific Ocean, and is a seaside playground offering something for everyone. Shop, eat, and see street performers at the Third Street Promenade. View the Santa Monica Pier and beyond from atop Pacific Park’s shimmering ferris wheel.

    I had the best time with my family at the Santa Monica Pier years ago, watching this brought back my memories. It is the most iconic LA spot and a very beautiful beach to visit for a full day!

    • @TheAverageTourist

      I really enjoy it there - so much to see and the beach is great.

    Definitely an excellent portrayal of the Santa Monica Pier area. I used to love going down there on days off. Particularly during the off season when it wasn't as busy.

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Рік тому

      I would love to live in that area, I think I'd spend so much time by the water. But agree, off season would be best.

    There really is so much to do around the pier. We've not been, and I was quite impressed to see the variety of options. I didn't know the pier was so old...and that Route 66 ends in Santa Monica! Parking there is reasonable compared to what we are used to at some of the beaches here! I would really enjoy biking along that trail on the beach 🚲☺️

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Рік тому +1

      I didn't realize it was so old either or the history behind it. We thought parking was pretty good and there's tons of it... you guys love your scooter and bike trails - this one would be perfect for you.

    Lol, we don’t know when last we’ve been on a funfair ride 😅 this one looks great, so close to the water.
    The sunset on the pier is amazing 🥰
    We’d be so keen to rent a bike, seems like there’s a lot to be seen 🤗
    Wow, love the promenade!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Рік тому

      Thank you so much!! It would definitely be a fun day for kids... maybe not so much for adults at the ride area. The promenade and people watching were my favourite activities there 🙌

  • @jontooke846

    A day in an amusement park is always great especially in this perfect location!
    I think the 40 dollars isn't that bad of a deal!
    I love street acts, always fun!
    The bike ride looked so much fun!
    All the best!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Рік тому

      Yes it would definitely be a fun spot to bring kids for the day...they would get use out of the daily pass on the rides for sure.

    Nice to see you guys back to some international travels! We've been to LA, but have never taken the time to go to Santa Monica pier. Looks like there's plenty to do there though. Love all the tips!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Рік тому

      There is a lot to do, and even as a tourist attraction there were so many locals enjoying the area too 👌

    This was so nostalgic to see, I went here 15 years ago and tried my first ever churro on the pier before getting a little too much sun on the beach, I remember loving how big the beach area was.
    Funny that you saw a Burger King ad being filmed, always something being filmed in LA!

    • @TheAverageTourist
      @TheAverageTourist  Рік тому

      What memories!! Getting too much sun is easy to do there for sure. My hubby loaded up with sunscreen even though we visited in mid-November.

    Thank you for making such an informative video! I’m a fellow Canadian, travelling to California for the first time in about 3 weeks, so this will be very helpful in planning our day at Santa Monica Pier 😊 I’m just curious… when did you shoot this video? It looks quite cool there - people are wearing jackets. If you made this video in mid-April I think I’m going to have to pack some more warm clothing!
    Thank you!

      We were there in October, so it was cooler in the evenings. Glad the video could be helpful for you! Have a great trip.

    Be sure to visit the carousel on the Santa Monica Pier. (It's in the old building on the left as you enter the pier.) This carousel, which was wonderfully restored, is one of the most beautiful in the world, and is a National Historic Landmark.

    My family is going to the LA area this summer and I did a little research before making plans to visit the pier. Specifically about the fishing. You don't need a license to fish. This quote is taken from an article written in April of this year:
    "Santa Monica Pier
    Address: 200 Santa Monica Pier, Santa Monica
    License: Free
    Open: 6:00 a.m. 10:00 p.m.
    One of the most iconic fishing piers in California, the Santa Monica fishing pier is a “pier rat’s” favorite. The 2,000-foot-long pier features two decks. The upper deck is a wider platform, lined with shops and food stands, as well as a whole amusement park. The lower deck, meanwhile, is where most fishermen decide to wet their lines from."

    • @TheAverageTourist

      Great to know! Not like here in Ontario where you need a license to fish anywhere!

    What about all the homeless that live all around the Pier? You forgot to add them as one of the attractions to see.

    Santa Monica pier is like times square in NY. A sad tourist trap to avoid. You lost me in the first 30 seconds of your video.
