When early settlers coined the term "Manifest Destiny," a city like Santa Monica, California, is likely what they had in mind. Santa Monica is where the famous Route 66 ends, and it's hard to think of a better destination point. This ocean-side city of 89,736 combines the laid-back beach demeanor of the South Bay with the pomp and circumstance of Hollywood, giving tourists and residents alike the best of all worlds.
Living in Santa Monica means sharing a home with the birthplace of beach volleyball, while also residing in a surfer and biker paradise. If sports aren't your thing, one can window shop in any of the city's three main shopping districts. For foodies and those who enjoy a night on the town, Santa Monica has a variety of wonderful restaurants and a hopping nightlife. It's also a stone's throw from Los Angeles, giving you access to that city's jobs and attractions. In short, Santa Monica has you covered.
