Die Santa Monica Pier ist eine der größten Sehenswürdigkeiten und das Wahrzeichen der kalifornischen Stadt Santa Monica. Sie geht von der Colorado Avenue aus und erstreckt sich über den Santa Monica State Beach (öffentlicher Strand) in den pazifischen Ozean. Zugleich bildet sie den Endpunkt der berühmten Route 66.
Santa Monica has a 5.6 km long beach and beach promenade.
Here the sun shines 340 days a year and there is almost always a pleasant mild breeze.
Here you can ride a bike, watch a movie, play beach volleyball and just watch people.
It's no wonder that this beach, which is almost untouched, is so popular.
The locals are very committed to preserving this natural area, the beautiful Santa Monica Beach.
They start at the Santa Monica Pier.
In the middle of the beach and sea landscape at the famous Santa Monica Pier is the Ferris Wheel and a whole amusement park.
At the Ocean Avenue, which is lined with palm trees, the visitor has the choice of excellent restaurants and hotels with a view of the Pacific.
The old carousel on the pier with its hand-carved horses was originally designed and built in 1916
and offers a pleasure from the good old days.
Today, the pier, reminiscent of the old days, is a popular destination and attracts more than 4 million visitors every year.
On September 9, 2009, the Santa Monica Pier celebrated its 100th anniversary and became one of the oldest amusement parks in California.
