Downtown Santa Monica
The pedestrian heart between beach and pier
In brief
Santa Monica's pedestrianised centre, where shops, street performers and restaurants line the Third Street Promenade. The pier and the beach are within walking distance, so a whole day fits into one area.

Good to know
- Weekends are crowded; mornings are easier for walking around.
