The Santa Monica beach is average, but the pier is nice and very lively. There are many music lovers performing, there are many distinctive shops selling souvenirs, restaurants, playgrounds, and fun places.

Fun pier with some good places to eat lunch. Very busy, as you would expect, but lots of fun small shops to buy tourist stuff at. A bit pricey... (The trip was made in Oct 2019, not 2020.)
This was one of our first stops. To get out of the room during the lockdown. I’m not biased but I must admit it was cleaner than Coney Island. And I’m team New York City all day. We spent an hour on t...
This large historic pier is a lot of fun to visit. There are restaurants, concession stands and small shops. There is even a small amusement park on the pier, although it was closed during our visit....
I love the festive atmosphere. Super touristy, but that's kind of the point. Great view from the end. Only down side is the strong pot smell everywhere. Gave one person in our party a bad headache, so...

When you come to Santa Monica Beach, you can't miss the pier. From a distance, I was caught by the Ferris wheel. It's so crowded with tourists here. The street performers on both sides are performing hard, attracting passers-by to stop and applaud. There are some restaurants at the end of the pier. The terminal has a "Route 66: End of the Trail" sign indicating that this is the end of the famous Route 66 in the United States. There is also a small amusement park on the pier: Pacific Park.
The Santa Monica Pier is a check-in spot for tourists to Los Angeles. Because there is the famous Route 66 end point, many locals in Los Angeles also come to enjoy a leisurely holiday. Fishing is possible on the pier, so there are so many people.
[Fun] Many people cheer here for the completion of a self-driving car and a drink to celebrate, so you can feel the feel of various cheers. [Scenery] Very ordinary, just an American terminal. [Value for money] Good, not expensive, and reasonable consumption.
After taking a lot of photos, I feel that this is not only a good spot, but also a good place to take pictures. There are so many seagulls flying all over the sky. The overall feeling is good, suitable for walking.
