"Santa Monica is one of the most iconic beaches in the Greater Los Angeles area. Its long white sandy beaches, pier, and Annenberg Community Beach House define it, and it's always teeming with activity and people. Roller coaster rides, Segways, pancakes, luxury hotels —you can get almost anything you need on Santa Monica Beach and its famous white sand's not too bad either. If you don't find something to do there, you're not looking." - Maxwell Williams, Krista Simmons
