One of Santa Monica's most prized possessions, this Southern Californian waterfront state park is the closest landmark to the iconic Santa Monica Pier and Third Street Promenade. Equipped with modern amenities such as volleyball courts, serene picnic spots and scenic swimming zones, this golden-sand landscape houses something that sets it apart from everything else in the vicinity: Muscle Beach, a haven for bodybuilding exhibitions and gymnastic presentations. A sunbather's heaven, the beach has also hosted special events like the world-famous Cirque du Soleil, transforming the place into a dynamo of energy, music and vivid colors. The Santa Monica Ferris Wheel is one of the state park's most noticeable attractions.
