  • A walking tour of the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade at Sunset, the best time to visit! At Santa Monica’s westernmost point, the Santa Monica Pier is home to the iconic Ferris Wheel jutting into the inviting waters of the Pacific Ocean. Packed with family-friendly activities, vibrant street performers, restaurants and shops, the Pier also offers stunning views and over a century of history. Constructed in 1909, the storied Santa Monica Pier was the first concrete pier on the West Coast.

    I stayed in Santa Monica for an entire week last summer and my favorite part of my entire SoCal trip was those evenings walking along the beach and hanging out on the Pier as the sunset behind the mountains. Just so beautiful. I miss being there.

    Thanks Chris for this tour of the SM pier and third street! When I was a little kid, my cousin talked me into going on the roller coaster with him on the pier when it was POP. I remember the roller coaster being much larger with several dips in a row that went down and up. Last time I went on a roller coaster 😂

    Love your walk n talks Chris! I visited Santa Monica from Australia in October 2019, the weather was perfect and the vibes were vibin.
    After I’d done 3rd St Pmde I headed to the pier for an hour or two and stood watching a big sea lion begging for fish from the fishermen. I then grabbed a cherry lemonade from Hot Dog On A Stick and walked along the beach to Venice. I know it’s a bit ‘touristy’ but it still felt like a quintessential Californian experience ❤

    one of my favorite places in the world! i don't swim in the beach but the energy in that area is so vibrant and the scenery is second to none.
    it looks like that the food vendors without a permit were dealt with for good. there was another channel that monitors and reports the happenings in santa monica and that whole ordeal was going on for a long while.
    and lol at the venmo street performers using venmo! apparently a few homeless people are doing the same thing now. wild times!

    I was travelling solo.. so just a little tip for others.. they will not let you go on that wheel as a solo. You have to wait if they can seat you there with somebody else,but i wasnt lucky. Usually people coming as a couple and want romantic pictures alone or in a group.

    I love Santa Monica Pier. I first went there in 2009 and ate at that restaurant at the end of the pier. The view was the only good thing about that restaurant lol. That was over 15 years ago though, so maybe it's better now. I found much better restaurants back along the beach. There was an amazing hole in the wall Italian restaurant which I can't remember the name of.
