Downtown Santa Monica

Awsome metro station here in Santa Monica California , it's easy walk to the Santa Monica pier and beach , hotels and restaurants around here and nearby bus transportation to Vince Beach ⛱️ , lots of metro staff around if anyone needs em at this station , its a outside station 🚉 , definitely gonna use this station on future trips 😉❤️🏖 as a Canadian tourist am very thankful for LA metro and the stations are like almost everywhere in LA , it's saves me alot of money in getting around LA and I have fun on the metro trains and I like the hood vibe in los Angeles and the merto trains run till late at night , merto staff are everywhere here at Santa Monica station . It's very busy here ❤️this is one of my favorite design layouts for a metro station here with the artwork etc . Its one of the busiest metro stations on the E LINE

Right to beach, shopping, eating, drinking! And it's a smoooth ride! McNeil, a Metro Ambassador at this station was incredibly friendly, knowledgeable about Metro system routes, how to pay via Tap, cash other, as well as warm, charming and helpful with local insights & landmarks. She's an extremely valuable representative for Metro!

Many thanks to the security officer who helped 2 UK seniors purchase Tap cards for our trip to downtown LA at about 3.30pm on Friday 24th October 25. He was so patient and remembered us when we returned 2 hours later. No way would we have got that level of service in the UK.

Surrounding is very dirty and there are strange people next to the ticket vending machines. The machine itself did not work properly and it took 9$ without giving me the ticket. The metro is full of homeless people and overall it’s not so clean.

Great destination Metro ride. :)

Nice Metro station just walking distance from Santa Monica Beach

It was great, very safe. Lots of security pretty clean. No problem. Trains are really nice. A great way to get downtown l. A fast panchy sunny

I loved this station, it's nicely designed, colorful, laid-back, and contemporary in style! Especially when tied in with the surrounding street lights and apartments and eclectic community, this station feels like as if it's a beating heart of Santa Monica. Plus, the location is extremely convenient, the world-famous pier is a block away, the shopping mall is barely a two-minute walk from the station, the 3rd street Promenade is less than 5 min away, it's all in one place without needing to worry about the hassle of parking. This has been my favorite light rail station in the entire LA area, period. I don't know which rail station, if any, could beat Santa Monica's!
