Find Your Space Under the Sun in Downtown Santa Monica

Downtown Santa Monica invites guests to find their space under the sun in the newly expanded al fresco dining patios along the world-class Third Street Promenade and surrounding streets.

To provide a safe and comfortable experience for the community restaurants, as well as fitness studios and retail stores, in the beachside downtown district are providing physically distanced outdoor operations on public sidewalks, Third Street Promenade and in parklets. For those who would rather eat at home, restaurants will continue to provide pick-up and delivery options.

On Third Street Promenade, guests can enjoy live outdoor music, delicious summer favorites, and bubbly bottomless weekend brunch at 1212 Santa Monica or say hello to the Casa Martin, the newest addition to the famed pedestrian street. At Heroic Deli, grab a classic Italian sub and a table in their patio dining oasis with expanded private-party areas separated by plexiglass barriers. Soak in stunning ocean views on Ocean Avenue and indulge in fresh seafood favorites from Watergrill and Blue Plate Oysterette.

Visitors can make a day of it with a stroll through Santa Monica Place and down the Santa Monica Pier, which is now open with limited hours, reduced capacity and monitored access.
