Main Street Santa Monica
A unique collection of restaurants, boutiques, cafés, and various services stretching the Ocean Park historical beach community.
Dine, Shop, Play

Main Street has been a go-to spot in Southern California for summer fun for over 25 years, pulling in crowds before and after their beach trips. Nestled in the historic ‘Dogtown’ area, it’s where modern skateboarding first took off.

This once-hidden gem is now a lively hotspot bursting with quirky shops, fantastic Michelin-star restaurants with outdoor seating, and awesome events like "Day of The Dog," "Summer Soulstice," and "Rocktober."

Every Sunday from 8:30 am to 1:30 pm, the farmers market comes alive just south of Ocean Park Boulevard, sandwiched between ‘The Victorian’ and the ‘California Heritage Museum.’ Picture a bustling atmosphere filled with colorful stalls of fresh, locally sourced produce, the melodic sounds of live music serenading shoppers, and tantalizing aromas wafting from gourmet food trucks. This family-friendly event is a must-visit that captures the essence of community and togetherness.

Main Street stretches a delightful path from Pico Boulevard to Rose Avenue, providing a refreshing alternative to the bustling shopping malls. Here you can indulge in a robust coffee from ‘Urth Caffe,’ enjoy an elegant French meal at the charming ‘Pasjoli,’ experience the umami of savory Japanese rice balls at ‘Sunny Blue,’ or embark on a culinary adventure at ‘Cobi’s,’ which specializes in mouthwatering Southeast Asian dishes. It truly is a paradise for food enthusiasts!

Kick off your morning with some yummy donuts and artisanal coffee from ‘Alfalfa’ or ‘The Place To Be.’ Afterward, get your sweat on at places like ‘Love for Pilates’ or ‘Athletic Gaines,’ or take a laid-back e-bike ride with ‘Pedal or Not.’

For those who love to shop, Main Street is packed with boutiques, including favorites like ‘Lost and Found’ and ‘jAdis,’ plus artisanal gems like ‘OK’ boutique. Want to unwind? Treat yourself to a massage at ‘The Now’ or a mani-pedi at ‘Pinkie's’ or the newly opened ‘Toolbox,’ which is just for the guys.

Need a little pick-me-up? Swing by ‘MUD\WTR’ for a mushroom latte, or cool off with some artisanal gelato from ‘Dolcenero Gelato.’ And if you’re into home decor, check out ‘Epoxy Expertise’ or ‘Lost & Found,’ a celebrity favorite.

But Main Street is more than just a place to shop and grab a bite; it’s an experience rich in history and fun. Treat yourself to a psychic reading at the Psychic Boutique or unwind at Edgemar, a stunning design by Frank Gehry, where you can savor delicious Holey Grail Donuts and indulge in Blue Bottle Coffee in the charming courtyard. Make sure to visit Santa Monica Travel & Tourism for insider tips and maps to enhance your adventure!

Jeffrey Segal, the founder of ‘Mystic Journey Bookstore & Crystal Shop,’ sums it up perfectly: “Main Street is a fantastic spot to find everything from culinary treats to unique local items”.

When nighttime rolls around, Main Street lights up with a fun nightlife scene. You can enjoy some tequila at ‘Lula Cocina Mexicana,’ catch the game at ‘Jameson’s Pub,’ or sip cocktails at the stylish ‘Basement Tavern.’

Designer Anthony Schmitt, who creates the famous ‘shopping cart tree’ at Edgemar, describes Main Street as an “ever-evolving historical street,” capturing the local vibe and offering surprises around every corner. Whether you’re up for a quick trip or a whole day of adventures, Main Street is sure to leave you with great memories.

While many tourists flock to the malls and the 3rd Street Promenade first, Main Street feels like a hidden treasure for those in-the-know. It’s a unique Santa Monica experience with more variety in shops and eateries. Plus, it’s got some of the best bars and restaurants in town.

“Main Street is a vibrant spot for eating, working out, and just hanging out—a neighborhood vibe that’s hard to beat,” says Judy Kruger, the President and CEO of the Santa Monica Chamber of Commerce.

This area gives off a cozy, laid-back vibe you won’t find elsewhere. ‘Lula’ is a local favorite, especially during the holidays. If you're up for drinks after work, check out ‘Tavern on Main,’ which has a similar friendly feel.

Food options here are super diverse, from seafood at ‘Crudo e Nudo’ and sushi at ‘Tsukiji Sushi Sen’ to the trendy ‘Triple Beam Pizza.’ If you’re craving Indian, don’t miss ‘Samosa House,’ and if you’re in the mood for Asian fusion, hit up ‘Cobi’s.’

Taking a drive down Main Street at night gives off those nostalgic 60s downtown vibes with packed bars, sparkling lights, and a fun atmosphere. The warm lighting, especially around the holidays, makes it feel like a cozy winter wonderland.

During the day, popular coffee spots like Urth Caffe, Kafe K, and Dogtown Coffee are always buzzing.

What really makes Main Street unique though, is that it is literally just three blocks from the ocean. It’s not uncommon in the early morning to see someone semi-clad in a wetsuit, clutching their surfboard making their way back home barefoot from the beach.

It’s also super close to Venice hot-spots like Rose Avenue and Abbot Kinney Boulevard, both of which offer different experiences with locally-owned businesses, super-trendy brunch spots, and hip clothing boutiques too.
