A Day in Santa Monica & Venice
Welcome to my home! Santa Monica has housed my family and me for many years and I always feel so grateful to live in one of the most beautiful beach cities in the world!
Here is what a perfect day in Santa Monica and Venice looks like to me!
Morning
Start your day with a beach walk or bike on the beach path. I suggest starting at Santa Monica Pier where you can walk to the end and people watch, play games and then rent a bike to head south towards Venice.

Mid Morning/Afternoon
Head towards Abbott Kinney Blvd for great shopping and eateries. Some of my favorite spots to grab brunch or a quick pressed juice are Gjelina and Gjusta and The Butcher’s Daughter!

Evening
Once you’re done with shopping in Venice, head back to Santa Monica and catch the sunset with a beverage at Santa Monica’s best rooftop ocean view, Elephante.
When you’re ready for dinner, head to my go to dinner spot right on Ocean Ave., The Ivy at the Shore. This restaurant holds many special memories for me and is a fun and vibrant space with beautiful décor and yummy dishes!
You can never have a bad beach day when you’re in Santa Monica!
