I thought LA ​​was beautiful enough until I went to Santa Monica to see the sunset.

🚖Transportation: Our starting point is near Hollywood Hills. I recommend leaving around 9 am; it takes about 30-45 minutes to get there. 🚇Subway: If you don't have a car, you can take the Los Angeles Metro Line E. The last stop is Santa Monica Station, about a 10-minute walk from the station. 1️⃣ Stop: 3rd Street Pedestrian Street This is a pedestrian street in downtown Santa Monica. After parking, you can start exploring. This roughly one-kilometer-long pedestrian area has many well-known restaurants, bookstores, cafes, and handicraft shops, along with wonderful street musicians. The atmosphere is fantastic, and I recommend having lunch here. 2️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Beach After lunch, head straight to the beach. This is one of the closest beaches to Los Angeles, so it's very crowded. Compared to other beaches, it's safer here, so you can play with peace of mind. 3️⃣ Stop: Santa Monica Pier Around sunset, be sure to rush to Santa Monica! Pier, this was the stop I was most looking forward to. Santa Monica Pier was built in 1909. The Route 66 terminus sign at the pier entrance is perfect for capturing the California atmosphere. Besides the sunset views, the pier also boasts classic attractions like a Ferris wheel and roller coaster. The roller coaster costs $15 for two rides, and the colors of the sky and the lights at sunset create a truly magical atmosphere! 🍴Dinner For dinner, I chose a seafood restaurant on the pier called The Albright. The seafood was very fresh, and the lobster rolls and fish and chips were delicious. You can enjoy dinner while watching the sunset. The average price per person is around $40! -🏠Airbnb Although we could have returned to Los Angeles immediately after dinner, we decided to stay overnight by the sea and found an Airbnb near Santa Monica Beach. ✨Name: Panoramic Ocean View with Balcony & Cal King Bed ✨Rating: 4.90 ✨Price: 3000 RMB/2 people 📍Location: Within a 10-minute walk of all Santa Monica attractions 🛁Stay Experience The host, Mike, was very welcoming and promptly helped us with any problems. He also recommended good local restaurants. The main reason we loved this Airbnb was the living room's window facing the ocean, which was truly beautiful and created a wonderful atmosphere. The room was fully equipped and very clean.
