About Santa Monica Pier

Santa Monica Pier is one of California’s most iconic attractions. Stretching into the Pacific Ocean, the Pier is home to:

  • Pacific Park amusement rides
  • The historic carousel
  • Oceanfront dining

  • Santa Monica Pier Aquarium
  • Scenic sunset views over the water

Just steps away, you’ll find Santa Monica State Beach, Muscle Beach, and the Ocean Front Walk bike path.

It’s a must-visit for families, couples, and anyone looking for a classic Southern California experience.

Why Not Stay Directly on the Pier?

Many travelers assume the best option is a beachfront hotel. But there are a few things to consider:

Higher Nightly Rates

Oceanfront properties often come with premium pricing.

Expensive Parking Fees

Late-Night Noise

The Pier area stays lively well into the evening, especially during peak season.

Traffic & Congestion
