Spent time chilling at Santa Monica Pier. Sun, sea, sand and cool souvenirs.

Was such a dream to visit Santa Monica pier! 🏖️Ambiance/Facilities: sunset, warmth and buzz 💞Reasons to Recommend:n lots to do see and eat We drove and parked at the carpark next door which was $15 for a couple hours. The rides on the pier were fun and cheap. We had dinner at a restaurant on the end of the pier while the sun was setting. Such amazing vibes I had the best time there
