Downtown Santa Monica

Tourist Information

Step out onto Colorado Avenue and you’re moments from the iconic Santa Monica Pier, where the Pacific Ocean meets classic amusement rides and the historic carousel. A short stroll leads to Third Street Promenade, a pedestrian‑only shopping boulevard lined with boutiques, cafés, and street performers. Nearby, the Palisades Park offers sweeping cliff‑side views of the coastline, perfect for sunrise photos, while the Annenberg Community Beach House provides a historic pool, museum exhibits, and beachside café. The station’s art installations, including the colorful “Oceanic Wave” mosaic, add a local creative flair to your arrival.
