The one thing that you can say about Santa Monica Beach is that it is well taken care of. There is also convenient parking right there. Yes, it costs $15 but you don’t have to hike to the beach, bay … Full review by jehenson81

We stayed in Hollywood so this was a trek but well worth it! We absolutely loved it! The pier was great and lots of great places to play, eat, drink and generally have fun! Well worth the effort …. Full review by Coastal00285138948

Would it be a good idea to visit Santa Monica Beach and Venice beach in one day? Is it easy to walk between them or would we benefit from renting bikes? Thanks for any advise.
A:
It’s 1.75 miles between them. Sure you could walk. Parking is easier at Venice.
Is driving from Hollywood to Santa Monica Pier then to Malibu wine safari too much to do in one day? What's the best day to go to either place to avoid traffic? Going early March.

Hi We drove Route 66 last September and this was the end of the last stage for us. We did not go to Malibu though so I cannot help with that. Hollywood to Santa Monica pier is a 30ish minute drive depending on the time of day. As you are probably aware the traffic in LA is notorious.. The pier and beach at Santa Monica are great and there are some handy multistory car parks tucked away down the side streets that are a better price than those on the sea front. If you get time I would also go slightly down the coast to Muscle Beach and Venice boardwalk this is a real experience. Enjoy.
Yes you can rent chairs and just about anything you need at the beach. Check with Perry’s as they are a Santa Monica institution and have locations along the boardwalk and open like 9a …
