Santa Monica

and LAX transportation travelers often ask:

The Santa Monica Pier is generally safe during peak evening hours when it is bustling with activity and concessions are open. However, safety diminishes significantly once the rides and shops close, and the crowds disperse, typically late at night. Visitors should exercise caution and avoid walking alone in the surrounding areas, especially near the beach, after the pier shuts down. Taking pre-arranged private transportation directly to and from your hotel is the safest practice after dark.
