Santa Monica State Beach Reviews

Overall Rating

Not the cleanest place in CA, but it definitely is worth a visit at least once. The pier is fun but I don’t recommend spending money on any ride except the Ferris Wheel. The food is pretty good however. Good biking routes and jogging paths. Would recommend coming at nighttime to see the pier lights.

It’s honestly very sad that this beach has become this bad. We need to do better as a community. The beach is riddled with trash. There are also a lot of carts with people selling things which is okay! There are SO many people taking pictures it’s crazy. The smell of weed is all over the beach it starts to make you nauseous. So sad. The ocean is beautiful though! If you picture it without trash.

The beach is very big and clean. There are so many things to do at the pier. Various kind of rides and local food shops at the pier makes it a happening place. We tried coffee and veggie burger at two nearby shops and though little crowded, they were worth the wait. Be sure to keep masks with you, entrance in the shops without mask is restricted. There are also bicycle rentals just after the public parking area at the beach. The parking is available from sunrise to sunset with 7$ fee. There are many sand volleyball courts too. We loved our time there and will visit it soon.

Extremely neat and clean beach of Los Angeles, loved the vibe of the beach, felt extremely relaxed. Restrooms are available. You can view Santa Monica pier from this beach, the water is crystal clear and the sound of waves will make the ambience so amazing, I recommend visiting this beach if u are in LA.

Nice place to watch the ocean. Parking is 15$ and free after 5:30 pm along the beach is a nice trail for running and another trail for biking. Make sure if you are walking, walk on the walking/running trail so no one run you over. There is a bathroom on the beach and outside shower which you might share with homeless.
