Fantastic Pier - Fantastic People Watching

By:


If you have never experienced the Santa Monica pier, you are missing quite an adventure. It is in some ways reminiscence of a fair or carnival with a roller coaster, hot dog, and popcorn stands. The crowd at the pier borders on a freak show at times and is never dull. If you have never experience two foot tall mohawks painted lime green, you might have the opportunity. Pier visitors can stand in awe of the largest macaroni noodle in the world with the Kraft integrated marketing campaign (it isn't real). The "noodle" weights 2,000 pound is located between Bubba Gump Shrimp Company and the Outman Rock Shop.

The pier features an aquarium, trapeze classes; trapeze shows complete with aerial silks, ropes courses, medieval sword combat, and acrobatic Yoga. As their advertisement says, "Forget fear. Worry about the addiction."

The pier offers a game arcade, a vintage merry-go-round and a small-scale amusement park. The pier also offers six restaurants with the Pacific Park Shops, Rusty's Surf Ranch with live music and dancing nightly, Marisol Cocina Mexicana, Santa Monica Pier Seafood, the Surf View Cafe and the before mentioned Bubba Gump Restaurant. The gift shops are plentiful and sunsets striking.

When visiting, hotels are strategically located around entertainment and industrial areas for work and play. For longer stays, many a hotel in Santa Monica offers apartment style living. The city is located in West Los Angeles off the 10 Freeway. It is located on Santa Monica Bay and surrounded on three sides by the city of Los Angeles. Pacific Palisades is on the northwest, Brentwood is on the north and West Los Angeles on the Northwest, and Venice on the southeast and Mar Vista on the east.

Santa Monica can claim 310 days a year of sunshine. Fog is typical for May and June, with the rest of the year being typically sunny. Smog is less of a problem there than elsewhere around Los Angels due to the cool breeze that blows in from the ocean. The city is known as one of the leading sustainable cities in the US.

Accommodations at each hotel in Santa Monica are plentiful, the entertainment endless and the people definitely worth watching. If you haven't been to the Pier, what are you waiting for? It is a beautiful city with gorgeous ocean views. Time to get packing.
