Visiting the Santa Monica Pier at Sunset (The Best Time!)

A walking tour of the Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade at Sunset, the best time to visit! At Santa Monica’s westernmost point, the Santa Monica Pier is home to the iconic Ferris Wheel jutting into the inviting waters of the Pacific Ocean. Packed with family-friendly activities, vibrant street performers, restaurants and shops, the Pier also offers stunning views and over a century of history. Constructed in 1909, the storied Santa Monica Pier was the first concrete pier on the West Coast.

I stayed in Santa Monica for an entire week last summer and my favorite part of my entire SoCal trip was those evenings walking along the beach and hanging out on the Pier as the sunset behind the mountains. Just so beautiful. I miss being there.

I lived in Santa Monica 12 years, and worked on the Pier. Lived NEXT to the pier. I miss it like crazy!

Hi Chris. Gotta agree that sunset is the best time to visit the pier. How wonderful that you can enjoy such a fabulous scenery. Thanks for sharing and take care.

Came to Santa Monica once in 2017, other than some very annoying street performers, it was lots of fun!!! We are heading back to the LA area this April, can't wait!!!

It was there last week. Most beautiful sunset I've ever seen. Greetings from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.

Thank you so very much for the tour. I have just subscribed to your channel.
I get that you were walking through this Promenade on a weekday, but still... All those empty streets and shops.... It has an eerie look to it. As someone put it, online shopping has killed the high street... Jesus...

You’re absolutely right, Chris. 🎉👏🏻
Sunset is my favorite time of the day to visit the Santa Monica (or otherwise) Pier, too.
It’s a magical time.

One of my favorite LA memories is having dinner at Bubba Gump during sunset, it’s epic looking north along the coast. I can’t wait to do it again soon.
