Santa Monica city, located west of Los Angeles, California. It's known for its beaches and the Santa Monica pier, as well as its shopping and dining options.
The taxi from LAX ran to about $50usd and we did have to wait a while to get one, next time we would consider organising a transfer for a few more dollars.
It was late when we checked in so we just grabbed a snack for dinner and chilled in our room at Courtyard by Marriott. The hotel was clean, staff friendly and close to the pier and shops etc.
We opted for a Hollywood tour just to tick off the things you are expected to see, a highlight though was the original Farmers Market which had some great food options for lunch..
We spent some time at the pier with its carnival atmosphere and went for some walks along the beach and streets.
The tour guide gave us a great saying that we use for LA, one and done, meaning we are happy we visited but probably wouldn’t return
Food wise we did our traditional faves for tourist towns, Cheesecake Factory and Bubba Gumps.
