A Fresh Start to the Day


One of the many fun things to do in Santa Monica is to take a stroll through the local farmers’ market. Explore the stalls offering organic produce from local farmers and get a nice burst of energy to start your day off right. Open Wednesdays, Saturdays, and Sundays, the farmers’ market is a great way to support the community and feel closer to the land.

There are three locations for the farmers’ market, with different vendors appearing on certain days. Each day you visit, you will be greeted by new vendors and sights, ensuring that separate trips feel like new adventures. Open until the afternoon, you are free to explore the market at your leisure.

As a Santa Monica local, I know all the best spots to explore, including the local farmers' market. Contact me today for more insider tips on what to see and do in the area!

A Late Morning Hike


Keep the day going strong by taking a trip up to the Santa Monica Mountains, where you can become one with nature. Hiking is not the only activity available to you, the mountains also have areas to mountain bike and climb. If you are looking for a more relaxing visit, you could instead look for the stunning wildflowers nestled around the trails. Your trip could go all night if you wanted, as the Circle X Ranch Group Campground offers the perfect spot to camp beneath the stars. There are over 500 miles of trails in the Santa Monica Mountains, providing you with a lifetime of exploration. Of all the cool things to do in Santa Monica, the mountains will provide wonder and views that are sure to be unforgettable.

Taking a step back and reflecting helps to stabilize goals and provide clear paths. While these moments of reflection can happen anywhere, being away from the city and among nature adds peace. No matter what is on your mind, the Santa Monica Mountains allow you the space and serenity to take a pause.

Let's explore together some of what Santa Monica has to offer, call me today!

View a Legendary Spot

It has been said that Route 66 was one of the most iconic roads in the United States. Fully paved in 1938, Route 66 was called the “Main Street of America” until it was decommissioned in 1985. Gone but not forgotten, this famous road has a sign of honor on the Santa Monica Pier. This “End of the Trail” sign does not just honor the timeless Route 66 but also serves as a reminder that the journey is just as important as the destination. More than just a place of history, the sign is a symbol of the past and an invitation to dream of what is to come.

Golden Hour by the Sea


When the sun starts to set and covers the city in golden light, the world seems to pause for a moment to take it in. While a breathtaking sunset can be embraced from anywhere, viewing it from Santa Monica State Beach is picture-perfect. The beach is a classic yet elegant backdrop for personal and professional photography, especially when the sun begins its descent. Memories are waiting to be made and captured alongside the soft sand and glittering waves.

Once photographs have been taken, the beach is yours to explore. Take a dip in the ocean and release some tension, then dry off while having an intimate picnic. The only expectation here is to relax and unwind.

If you do not want to sit in the sand and watch the waves, you could take a walk along the three-mile-long coast and get swept away by the ocean breeze. Watching the powerful force of the sea can allow your daydreams to manifest into concrete ideas.

A Day of Luxury

If you ever feel crowded in the city, take to the ocean. Plenty of locations nearby provide yacht rentals, allowing you to escape the busy streets and enjoy the open sea. Whether you are with a large or small group, being pampered on a yacht is a sure way to turn your day around. There is no need for a special occasion to treat yourself; step away from the daily routine and bask in the salt-misted air.

The calming waves of the ocean can wash away the stress of the week. You can sunbathe on the deck, have a chilled drink in the shade, or simply watch the sparkling horizon. As far as activities in Santa Monica go, spending the day at sea is a favorite. Enjoying the view from the coast is mesmerizing, but the view from the ocean itself is magical.

Spark your sense of wonder by leaving the yacht for the ocean below and try scuba diving. California is home to a wide variety of sea life that is sure to enchant you. Santa Monica has just as many gems below the surface, waiting to be experienced.
