Despite being surrounded on three sides by its neighbor Los Angeles, Santa Monica is a city in its own right. The city benefits from a year round Mediterranean style climate with more than 300 days of sunshine annually. This gives residents and visitors alike plenty of opportunity to make the most of the beautiful beaches along the coast. As might be expected in a coastal city with year-round sunshine, Santa Monica has a laidback atmosphere that is the perfect remedy to the hustle and bustle of life in the larger Los Angeles.

Santa Monica has long been an escape for residents of Los Angeles looking for a quieter, more relaxed life away from the hectic pace of the big city. Improved transport networks towards the end of the 19th century made Santa Monica an accessible day trip destination and the early 20th century saw the rise of amusement piers as popular entertainment venues for holiday makers. The piers housed many different attractions including dance halls, arcades and roller coasters and although most of these original attractions have long since disappeared, the famous Santa Monica Pier still stands as a testament to the golden age of amusement piers and has been used countless times in the background of many popular movies and television series. Also on the city’s beachfront you will find the original Muscle Beach where bodybuilders, acrobats and gymnasts have been coming to work out since the 1930’s.

Despite the many wonderful attractions of Santa Monica, it cannot be denied that one of the major draws of the city is its proximity to Los Angeles and all the exciting opportunities it has to offer. Hollywood acts as a big magnet for those wanting to see where the movie magic is made, with tours of famous movie studios such as Universal Studios and the Hollywood Walk of Fame just some of the popular attractions. As well as being home to the center of the movie industry, Los Angeles has been the birthplace of the careers of some of the most famous bands and musicians in the world and there are plenty of live music venues to suit all tastes. For quieter days there are a number of interesting museums in the city including the Getty Center with its delightful gardens, beautiful city views and large art collection.
