Santa Monica State Beach at the Santa Monica Pier – Santa Monica, California – 12/07/2019

At the end of Route 66, you’ll find the bustling Pacific Beach area of Santa Monica, California!

The iconic Santa Monica Pier, surrounded by the sandy stretches of Santa Monica State Beach.

The Pacific Ocean before you is surprisingly natural, in contrast to the steady population just beyond.

I imagine on a sunny day, the beach would be pretty busy…

But, on this cool, overcast winter day, the natural areas were quite lovely, with iconic Americana situated atop the Santa Monica Pier just to our left!
