Main Street

Main Street is a historic street in Santa Monica that is home to some of the beach community's hippest restaurants, bars and shops. Another great thing about Main Street is that it's located just a block from the beach, making for an easy escape to happy hour from the beach or a quick return to the beach after shopping to catch the sunset. The history of Main Street can best be seen at the California Heritage Museum. When it comes to shopping, you'll find that the shops on Main Street are much more eclectic and independent than its famous neighbor, Third Street Promenade.
