Hanging at the Santa Monica Pier

 


The Santa Monica Pier is a tourist destination but it is a fun place to visit in Southern California: It has shops, a small amusement park, a 100-year-old carousel and the Pacific Ocean, what more do you need:










Had lunch while I was there:





Oh did I mention that it has one of the most popular beaches in Southern California:








The Santa Monica Pier is a cool place to hang out:

  2. I went there one afternoon and it quickly became my favorite place in the world. I took a walk from there on the sidewalk on the beach to Venice, when I figured I'd better turn around and walk back before I was too tired to. Going there and seeing the "end of the trail" sign meant that I had been at both ends of Route 66, the other end being on Michigan Avenue in Chicago....

  4. Carousels never go out of style, I think. No matter the age, love to ride on one. As I've aged, I take the bench now though. :)

  7. In all my times to LA I have yet to visit the Santa Monica pier. Looks like fun. My one wish that they made the US 66 sign an actual California-style US shield (I'm such a highway nerd 😹)
