Sophisticated and cosmopolitan Santa Monica is not your average beach town. Beyond such major destinations as the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade awaits a community known for its commitment to the environment and with a cultural life cities many times its size might envy. So even if you’ve come here for a day at the beach, leave time to explore other areas of Santa Monica and to discover local haunts and the occasional oddity.
