Santa Monica Beach is a more relaxing spot just down the coast from the hectic, fast-paced Venice Beach, a haven for counterculture hippies and traveling wanderers. Santa Monica beach couldn’t be more opposite, featuring a walkway that meanders down from street level to the sandy shore, where tourists are free to play a little volleyball, catch some sun, or just take a dip in a relaxing setting next to the majestic hills of Topanga Canyon.
