One Day in Santa Monica - Things to Do! (Pier Rollercoaster, Beaches, Downtown, Sunsets!)

Published 2022-04-29
You've got one day in Santa Monica - what are some things to do? The Pier rollercoaster, ferris wheel and beach views, Santa Monica Boulevard, Third Street Promenade, Palisades Park, the Venice Beach bike ride along the Strand, gorgeous sunsets ... the list goes on. Whether you love the beach or just walking downtown, this is a great California coastal city with much to explore right near Los Angeles.

Death Valley. Malibu. Santa Monica. Channel Islands National Park. We closed out the year with an epic road trip to California in style, checking out some of the best SoCal has to offer - beautiful coastlines and beaches, gorgeous mountains with hiking and mountain biking trails, tiny islands off in the Pacific Ocean, and also the hottest, driest and lowest place in the United States - and hottest in the world. Not only did we sneak in time for some fun on rollercoasters and other amusement park attractions at Santa Monica Pier. Come with us over the next few months as we show you all the awesome places we visited. We hope you enjoy our trailer and stick around for our future videos. Please subscribe and feel free to check out our previous epic road trips as well.

  • The pubs used to be my favorite in Santa Monica. I'm big on darts. I lived there in 70s right off ocean Avenue and 4th. Had ocean view from my bedroom!!!!
