A busy shopping district (no cars allowed). Plenty of restaurants. We recommend Trastavere (Italian & pizzas), Barney's Beanery (everything you can imagine) and the Broadway Deli (NY Style Deli). A farmers market occurs every Saturday morning at Arizona Ave and 3rd.

An exciting open-air pedestrian street pulsates with an international mix of people enjoying an eclectic blend of restaurants, unique retail shops, movie theatres and nightclubs. The best in dining, shopping, entertainment and a non-stop kaleidoscope of street performers combine to make Downtown Santa Monica and the Third Street Promenade a favorite destination for visitors and residents alike.

Here you will find shops, from the Apple Store, to Banana Republic and to other trendy shops! At night you'll find street entertainment and the street walkway (that's right! no cars allowed), full of patios and entertaining passer bys.

Drawing locals and world travelers alike, Downtown Santa Monica is a popular Southern California coastal destination, anchored by the world-famous Third Street Promenade. Known for a twice-weekly farmers’ market, fabulous dining and terrific shopping, Downtown also has lots of entertainment choices from movies to live theater to street performers. All this comes packaged in a moderate Mediterranean climate, just minutes from beaches and the Pacific Ocean.
