Anyone here been to Santa Monica Pier before? My GF wants to go there this week.

sounds awful
It's a big, urban tourist trap. Expect carnival rides, the bike path, and traveling rings.

pretty touristy with some rides. possible to fish off it but probably not worth it. chilly this time of year slightly, bring a hoodie. Santa monica itself is like the walking dead with homeless people. Venice is kind of cool with the skate park. Walk the beach down there if it's a nice day. If you keep walking north on the cliff park you eventually get to some quieter areas with trees.

Half of those are good things. Tourism stimulates the econmomy, and the Republic of the United States of America was founded on the principles of Enlightenment Liberalism, as enshrined in the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.
(Yes, it was, go read a fucking book if you don't believe me).

>going to the shittiest beaches in CA
Nice blog, bro. Do yourself a favor and google David Hasselhoff's Top Ten CA Beaches.
To his credit, I mostly agree.

Liberalism and liberals have nothing in common.

Santa monica is all tourist/family fun beach.
Personally i like Venice beach (about 2 miles south). Lotsa weirdos, 420 friendly, kush doctors everywwhere, the boardwalk freakshow, skate park, muscle beach, freewalls(spraypaint/tagging), etc.
Baisicly if youre18-30 or no kids go to Venice. If youre oldfart/nofun/republicuck/have kids go to santa monica
pretty much one of the shittiest places to go when visiting the Westside.

This, head down to Venice beach dude. You'll get a kick out of all the fucking weirdos down there and the smell of bud is pretty great. Or take a frisbee and have fun at the beach.
go look at ed templeton's insta or facebook photos.
thats a pretty good summary.

Go up to the beaches in Ventura. They're nicer and less crowded. Literally any beach is nicer than the ones in LA

Its not that fun, OK rides and a billion fucking people crammed in there with you
