Having a romantic getaway can be tricky especially when the couple is expecting to find the splendor of historic buildings but actually end up staying in a rickety old hotel. Fortunately, no similar issue is found when the destination of the romantic getaway is a beach. A beach will be always attractive. And when the couple wants to head south on the western coast, one of the most recommended destinations is the Santa Monica in California. This city also has the advantage of being about a little over an hour’s drive away from the modern metropolitan of Los Angeles.

For some tourists, the most attractive feature of Santa Monica is the long stretch of golden beach that faces the coastline of the Pacific Ocean. The people of Santa Monica take pride in preserving the beauty and cleanliness of their beaches. Thus many Santa Monica romantic resorts, along with gourmet restaurants, are located around the beach area. In fact, all 37 modern hotels of Santa Monica are conveniently located so that guests will have easy access to the beach, the shopping centers, restaurants, recreation parks, and various tourist sports, such as the Santa Monica Pier, which was built in 1908. When the couple has no fixed itinerary, they can visit the Santa Monica Walk-in Visitor Information Center to get a travel guide around the city.
