Santa Monica Place

Tours of Santa Monica would not be complete without visiting Santa Monica Place.  Recently renovated, this stunning open-air marketplace fits in perfectly with the beach community.  With anchors like Bloomingdale’s and Nordstrom, and shops like Barney’s CO-OP, AllSaints Spitalfields, BCBGMaxazria, Betsy Johnson, CB2, Coach, G-Star, Juicy Couture, Michael Kors, and the Disney Store—there is something for everyone while enjoying the sunny courtyards and the ocean breeze.  Plus, you’ve got The 3rd Street Promenade, the Pacific ocean, Palisades Park, the boardwalk, The Santa Monica Pier, and fantastic Santa Monica hotels, all within walking distance.  While in the area, make sure to check out the Moreton Bay fig tree (dating back to the 1880’s) at The Fairmont Miramar Hotel, possibly the largest of its kind in The United States.
