Jutting out into the Pacific Ocean at the intersection of Ocean and Colorado, it symbolizes the heart of Santa Monica and is one of the most photographed locations in the world. Discover more than just a Pier, we are a destination where people come together to enjoy local culture and to reconnect with the Pier’s storied past. Whether you are here to take in the incredible views, ride Pacific Park’s Ferris Wheel, hosting an event, or joining us for another family-friendly activity, we can’t wait to welcome you to the Santa Monica Pier.


The Santa Monica Pier is a large double-jointed pier at the foot of Colorado Avenue in Santa Monica, California, United States. It contains a small amusement park, concession stands, and areas for views and fishing. The pier is part of the greater Santa Monica Mountains National Recreation Area.

There are 17-24 spaces designated for Pier street performers, depending on the season and day of week. These are marked with a white star painted onto the Pier deck. The spaces run the length of the Pier boardwalk, on the West end viewing deck, and part of the west fire lane by Pacific Park. These spaces have been designated by the Pier Corporation to allow individual performers space to gather an audience and perform without obstructing other performers, businesses, and travel ways on the Pier. There are 2 lotteries a day held at the Carousel Plaza on the east end of the Pier where applicants can draw for one of these designated spaces.
