Sitting where Colorado Avenue meets the Pacific, Santa Monica has drawn beachgoers to its pier and palm-lined promenade since the 1870s, when it was first pitched as a seaside resort town. Salt air, surfboards, and street performers still set the tone along Ocean Avenue. Settle into one of 73 restaurants for fresh seafood, or book a room among 17 hotels just steps from the sand.
