Things To Do
Santa Monica Pier
The Santa Monica Pier is filled with restaurants, bars, and the famous "Pacific Park." Ride a few rides above the Pacific Ocean, or enjoy a corn dog at the FIRST ever Hot Dog On a Stick location (Est. 1946).
Heal the Bay Beach Clean-Up @ Santa Monica State Beach - North Beach Pier, TOWER 1550
Mel's father is one of the co-founders of Surfrider Foundation, so protecting our oceans and beaches, has always been a huge part of her life. If you have some time in the morning, pop down to the Northside of the SM Pier, and help clean our local beach! 9am-12pm. This beach is located within a mile of our wedding venue :) The site captain is ART SALTER: asalter508@aolcom
The Venice Beach Boardwalk
Venice is a fun, unique place filled with restaurants, bodegas, an outdoor skate park, and enough street performers to keep you entertained all day!
Hotel Shangri-La
This is our favorite spot to view the sunset, and sip on a refreshing cocktail. We recommend visiting the rooftop bar just before sunset. **Allow a few minutes for the slow elevator (historical building problems) ;)
Sushi Roku Santa Monica
This is one of our favorite happy hour spots! Sushi Roku has daily happy hour from 4-7pm. Fresh sushi, Japanese bites, and $5 Large Hot Sake, to boot! Make sure to say Hi to our neighbor Sammy! Kanpai!
Brick + Mortar
Brick is our "Cheers." Anytime we have guests in town, we take them to Brick for a guaranteed fun time! If you're sticking around on Sunday, we highly recommend having brunch (& bottomless mimosas) at Brick. They have a DJ and extensive bloody mary bar, so prepare thyself!! This place is not for people that want a mellow, quiet restaurant. #PartyPeopleOnly
The Free Ride (Golf Cart Service)
Go Green! We love this free golf cart shuttle service. You simply text the main number with the # of guests in your party, along with your pick-up & drop-off location. They will then text you back with an estimate pick-up time. You can download the map on their website. **We recommend you tip $1-2 per passenger :) Service runs daily 11:30am-9:00pm
Bird Electric Scooter
As seen in our above engagement photo, we LOVE riding on Birds. Birds are a shared electric scooter that you can access with an App on your phone. The in-app GPS will show you where a Bird is located. You then walk (or Uber) to that location, scan the barcode, and get to cruisin! $1 activation charge + 15 cents per minute. These bad boys go up to 15 MPH, and are a BLAST!
