Santa Monica is an iconic spot on the beach of Los Angeles, with its famous pier dominating the horizon. It is a very popular place for tourists and locals, perfect for combining a kite session and a stroll along the waterfront.
The beach stretches for several kilometers of fine sand, lined with a lively promenade. Riders come here for its accessibility in the heart of the city, even if the wind is not always present.
The atmosphere is relaxed during the week, but it gets crowded on weekends.
