Akiko I. • August 10, 2014Great serene beach. Right next to Venice but very quiet, clean and beautiful beach. Park along the houses.

Jonathan M. • May 27, 2019Beach is less busy than other local beaches. Restrooms are great (very rare for the beach). Paddle standup boarding and kayaking services are available. Beach volleyball facilities are available.

Tom H. • July 6, 2013Great LA Beach, but it is both hard to find & completely lacking in parking.

Jason S. • September 29, 2018Tons of ways to enjoy the atmosphere. Nice beach, good surf, nice piers. Tons of shops, food, activities, rentals, and more.

Rob B. • August 11, 2011The most private and family friendly stretch of the Santa Monica - Venice Beach area. Great place to relax with friends, family or chill by yourself. Very relaxing.

Sonja • October 27, 2015Perfect to watch the sunset and get a campfire going!

Sara B. • July 10, 2011Awesome beach, best ever - traffic getting in to park but well worth it.

eric b. • August 16, 2020Great wide beach that is perfect for social distancing during the week with tons of ample parking. And it’s got planes taking off which is cool for kids.

Mohammad F. • August 11, 2015Santa monica is the best place to stay in LA , the beach is clean and the pier have many options to the kids to play or eat , and the views is fantastic

Carmen • May 31, 2016I've only seen 3-4 ft waves. I also got tar on my feet which I understand is common on California beaches. Have canola oil or baby oil and paper towels handy to get rid of it

Mike D. • October 1, 2011Make sure you read all parking signs and rules... city of Santa Monica is notorious for strict enforcement even if signs are unclear. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS FREE PARKING AT THE BEACH!

Luke W. • February 25, 2018It’s all about the attention to details at this New England style beach house. The rooms are well decorated that you feel more at home than you are at a hotel. go to the cozy living room for a drink.

Katrina • January 28, 2015I love walking from Marina del rey to Venice Beach. Usually parking is all full in Venice so easier to park further down and enjoy the walk.

Grath • June 13, 2010Free wifi, cheap parking, really nice and big rooms. Breakfast is pretty much sugar and sugar. Very close to the beach, 5 minutes from the 3rd Street Promenade.
