The Third Street Promenade was developed in the late 1980’s by the City of Santa Monica in an effort to revitalize the deteriorated downtown area and create a vibrant center for community life and retail activity. The Third Street Promenade opened on September 16, 1989. Not only has the Third Street Promenade been an economic boost to downtown businesses, its astounding success has made Santa Monica a major Southern California destination.

Santa Monica State Beach is the City of Santa Monica’s biggest and greatest natural asset. Located between Will Rogers State Beach to the north and Venice Beach to the south, the 3.5 mile stretch of wide beach serves as the backdrop for the active, outdoor oriented Southern California lifestyle. This popular destination attracts thousands of local, regional and world-wide beach goers on a daily basis year round.
