Santa Monica Pier opened in 1909. It was the age of top hats and hoop dresses, and when walking above the waters of the Pacific Ocean was a novelty.
Located at the bottom of Colorado Avenue, off of Ocean Avenue, the pier's original success was attributed to both a roller coaster and the famed La Monica Ballroom.
Reaching 985 feet into the Atlantic, the Cherry Grove Fishing Pier is a great spot for all fishermen. Several fishing records were established here, including the largest tiger shark ever caught.
Seal Beach Pier...a wonderful spot to catch a sunset.
The Neo-Romanesque Cathedral of St Francis (San Francisco de Asís) was built between 1869 and 1884 on a site occupied by several earlier churches. In a chapel on the north side is La Conquistadora, a figure of the Virgin brought from Spain.
Any good walking tour of Santa Fe would not be complete without a visit to Seret & Sons. Seret & Sons is a wonderful feast for the senses, featuring a wide variety of antique and hand crafted items from around the world.
