Nearby Third Street Promenade provides a range of shops, restaurants, and street performances in a pedestrian-only outdoor plaza.
The wonders of Santa Monica don’t stop at the beach either. Tongva Park is great for children and adults with impressive modern architectural features, a playground, and a splash pad. Aero Theatre screens classic films, the Santa Monica Museum of Art inspires curiosity, and Harvelle’s showcases live music. The Marvin Braude Bike Trail is over 20 miles long, stretching the Pacific Ocean shoreline from Pacific Palisades to Torrance.
