This was one of our first stops. To get out of the room during the lockdown. I’m not biased but I must admit it was cleaner than Coney Island. And I’m team New York City all day. We spent an hour on the pier then stayed on the beach for the remaining day. There were a lot of people there all following the covid guidelines. I liked that the vendors weren’t in your face trying to sell you stuff. It was very enjoyable…

This large historic pier is a lot of fun to visit. There are restaurants, concession stands and small shops. There is even a small amusement park on the pier, although it was closed during our visit. The view of the Pacific Ocean and the beach and coastline was wonderful! Definitely recommend!…

However the programming for the wheel was offensive to specific handicap personal. A request by city hall.

I love the festive atmosphere. Super touristy, but that's kind of the point. Great view from the end. Only down side is the strong pot smell everywhere. Gave one person in our party a bad headache, so if you're susceptible to that you might want to go on a breezy day. :)

Visiting Los Angeles was not intended, but due to cv19 testing changes in Hawaii I had to stay here for a few days. California was in lock down so most activities were shut down. Well the Santa Monica pier is not totally shut down. We parked in a mall parking lot a few blocks away and walked there, the parking was cheap and easy to find. The rides and most of the food places were closed, but the pier itself was available to walk on and some of the gift shops were open, also the ice cream places were open. A stark difference was there were no crowds of people which made the experience more enjoyable for me. It was sunny and warm, with a nice ocean breeze. The wild life was out for showing off and I had my niece visiting with me so I had a great time there. Got some good photos, did the FB check in, etc. This was the first time I have visited the pier and enjoyed myself. Not sure if I would come back again, but at least I can say that I have been there.…
