A bit of history
From the fun on the pier, which includes a historical carousel or a solar-powered Ferris wheel, the Beach crowded with bathers for a stroll down the street for shopping and dining on the boardwalk Third Street Promenade.
The most entertaining pier in all of California is Santa Monica. You can travel the coast and not find anything like it anywhere! This place is a mandatory stop on your trip to the west coast of the USA.
Santa Monica opened its first pier in 1909 to bring garbage ashore. At the height of Coney Island, when all beach destinations off California began luring tourists with exotic pier tours and ocean views, San Monica reclaimed its place with a pier called Santa Monica Pleasure Pier, inaugurated by the famous carousel builder Charles Looff.
the famous ones storms in the early 1980s, the Santa Monica Pier damaged over a 45,000-square-foot area of its deck. The citizens and the harbor committee quickly set about rebuilding it. The project took 6 years must be completed between 1983 and 1989. On the other hand, the official opening did not take place until 1992.
It is estimated that approx 4 million visitors they pass by Santa Monica Pier annually, eat at their restaurants, ride old-fashioned rides and play games.
Route 66
IN 2009, Santa Monica Pier was declared as official western terminus of Route 66 as commemorated by a Route 66 sign. Visitors who end their tour in Santa Monica can pick one up completion certificate off Route 66 at any Santa Monica Visitor Center.
Present
We recommend going to visit the Santa Monica Pier before dark so you can see the sunsetThat moment is priceless. Also, when night falls, from the pier you can see how the Ferris wheel Pacific Park opens the lights and how the whole city is illuminated.
You can enjoy a quieter moment away from the crowd second level point of view of the hippodrome building. Most visitors miss this part of the pier, which is why there is one incredibly quiet place to enjoy from sea view.
