santa monica pier
MY HONEST TAKE — if you love to sight see and adore sunsets, this is for you. watching the sunset at the end of the pier, was absolutely stunning. however, the pier itself was so overly crowded. back to back foot traffic making it hard to get good pictures/videos unless you’re super up close.

Palisades Park Palisades Park is seriously underrated 🌴 It has one of the best views of the ocean and Santa Monica Pier—no sand in your shoes required. I went at sunset and it was unreal. Open daily and totally free. Perfect spot for a chill walk, golden hour pics, or just vibing. #lemon8
