In Santa Monica, warm weather and sunny days are a year-round luxury. Take advantage of 60-degree winter weather with a stay at one of the many beachside properties. You won’t even need a car as there are plenty of restaurants and bars within walking distance.
Route 66—the iconic road ending at the Santa Monica Pier—celebrates its centennial in 2026. Big sporting events will also be held nearby, like the FIFA World Cup at SoFi Stadium; the NBA All-Star Weekend at the new Intuit Dome; and the PGA Tour’s Genesis Invitational and the U.S. Open Women’s Championship at the Riviera Country Club.
Spend your sun-soaked days at the Santa Monica Pier, which has been attracting visitors since 1909, when it was known as the city’s best fishing spot. The pier's landmark Ferris wheel is accompanied by family-friendly shops, carnival games, food and more. Plus, it's sure to deliver epic California sunset views.
Wellness is woven into Santa Monica's identity. With dozens of green spaces, fitness classes held outdoors, spas and an array of healthy dining options, it's easy to feel good when you're visiting. You might even spot a dolphin while exercising.
Santa Monica's food scene is as exciting as it is eclectic. You’ll find creative dishes, from buzz-worthy food trucks to world-famous chefs serving exquisite fine dining. Plus, with year-round sunshine, outdoor dining is always on the menu. Pop by one of its four weekly farmers markets for a snack.
