Santa Monica

Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.

This famous beach town next to Los Angeles is best known for its 3-mile Santa Monica Beach which we have all come to know as the symbol of Southern California beach life.

In addition to sandy beaches and swaying palm trees, the town offers diverse museums, art galleries, boutiques and restaurants.

Because of its proximity to Los Angeles and other attractions, Santa Monica is a great place to stay if you want to explore Southern California. You will be able to visit Hollywood, Disneyland, Beverly Hills, Universal Studios, Venice Beach and other vacation sites.

The town offers many hotels and inns. If you are planning a romantic getaway, surprise your partner with the unique garden bungalows at The Fairmont Miramar Hotel which overlook the ocean.
