Downtown Santa Monica

Downtown Santa Monica is a hub for shopping, dining, and entertainment, blocks from the Santa Monica Pier and the Pacific Ocean. The vibrant downtown area is home to street performers, outdoor cafes, boutiques, and the many visitors that flock to this iconic beachside community. Third Street Promenade, the Westside Comedy Theater, and a wide range of shops and restaurants occupy most of central Santa Monica Boulevard, and along the landmark Santa Monica State Beach is Santa Monica Pier, Pacific Park, and the Santa Monica Pier Aquarium. Just a few blocks away from the busy streets of downtown, locals enjoy the markets, boutiques, and art galleries along Montana Avenue, or the popular Santa Monica Farmers Market in Virginia Avenue Park.
