Best of IgoUgo The entrance to Santa Monica Pier is extremely hard to miss once you're in the area. The big iconic sign which hangs over the street is visible from quite a distance, alerting visitors that their destination is within close range. Santa Monica Pier ...Read more

Best of IgoUgo When I came to California for the first time last year, I came with few expectations. Not because I didn't think there would be much that would interest me, but because I wanted to let it speak for itself. Southern California is somewhere that ...Read more

I visited both Venice Beach and this beach at the Santa Monica Boardwalk. I far far preferred this beach. First of all it was less crowded and there were mostly families and other people swimming - there wasn't the same crowd as at Venice Beach at ...Read more
