Santa Monica Pier. What's the hype about this place? There's nothing here that no other 'fair' wouldn't have. I'll admit, it's a nice beach, somewhere nice to eat, sit and talk, or even stare at the stars (as any other beach), but I'll have to say this isn't the BEST atraction Santa Monica has. There are games for kids to play, and stuffed animals you could win (just like any other theme park). The beach is clean, and so is everything else surrounding it, but i think this is REALLY over rated! It's great for kids and family, but it's REALLY small! You'd have more games and toys to win somewhere else. You'd probably be down seeing everything here in less than 30 or even 20 minutes! That's how small it is!
Pros: inexpensive
Cons: hard parking, over rated
