Start the first day with a walk on the Santa Monica Pier, one of the most iconic landmarks in Los Angeles County. You can enjoy beautiful views of the Pacific Ocean and ride the Ferris wheel at the Pacific Park amusement park. After that, take a walk on the Third Street Promenade, a pedestrian-only shopping street with excellent restaurants and street performers. Finish off the evening with a beautiful ocean view dinner at the famous BOA Steakhouse.
On the second day, head to Malibu, one of the most beautiful locations on the coast. Start off with a hike in the Malibu Creek State Park and immerse yourself in nature's beauty. After the hike, enjoy sunset views while sipping wine from the Malibu Wines Tasting Room.
If you have more time, consider exploring more of Santa Monica, such as the Santa Monica State Beach or the Getty Villa in Malibu. If you have less time, you can skip the hike at Malibu Creek State Park and go straight to Malibu Wines Tasting Room for wine sampling.
