Santa Monica Beach and Pier

When you want to just enjoy the sand and seawater (though everyone is disappointed at how cold the water is), with along some people watching, then Santa Monica beach is a good choice. A ride on the ferris wheel on the pier gives a good view of the ocean, beaches, and buildings. Particularly beautiful at sunset. Third Street Promenade is a couple of blocks east of the pier. Street performers are what is to be seen here. However, if you have had your fill of the tourist center in other cities (Fisherman's wharf in San Francisco), then you might want to skip the promenade.
