|www.santamonicapier.org|This old-school amusement park features a rollercoaster, an old-fashioned 1922 carousel, carnival games, an aquarium, a trapeze school and that famous 85ft ferris wheel. Yes, it’s a tourist trap, but this Santa Monica icon is a must-do if you’ve got kids in tow.
The bustling, charismatic Santa Monica Beach has diversions for all ages, from surf shacks to beach volleyball courts, along a two-mile stretch of golden sand backed by shops, restaurants and bars. With mild surf, it’s a great place to swim – and to try some surfing.
Hire a bike at Blazing Saddles on the pier and cycle along the footpath at the back of the beach.
Or why not try surfing? Learn to Surf LA offers year-round lessons (usually 1 hour 45 minutes) for all ages and abilities, at three LA beaches – including Santa Monica Beach.
The pier is open daily, 24/7. The amusement park is open daily; times vary by season but generally from 12pm-7pm (until around 12am Fridays and Saturday). Friday or Saturday night is best to ensure all the attractions are open.
If you can, time it for a Wednesday or Saturday morning/early afternoon, so that you can pop into the Arizona Avenue farmers’ market for gourmet eats and first-rate fresh produce. Bring them back to eat on the beach.
