Santa Monica Pier The Santa Monica Pier is probably one of the busiest piers on the West coast, but you’ll find restaurants, food carts, specialty shops, and amusements galore! Hit the boardwalk, enjoy an ice cream cone and take a spin on the roller coaster.

Spend a Day at California Adventure As a girl raised in So Cal, I believe that Disneyland really is worth the hype. The newer park, California Adventure, shows off the Golden State’s style and combines the magic of Disney with the best that California has to offer. A Park-Hopper ticket will get you into both parks, and you’ll get the best of both worlds!
