Summer in Santa Monica feels effortless. Mornings begin with ocean air drifting through open windows. Afternoons move between the beach, the city’s coastal paths, and long, sunlit meals overlooking the Pacific. From here, California summer becomes something you feel more than plan.

At The Huntley Hotel Santa Monica Beach, you’re positioned at the center of it all—steps from the shoreline, walkable to iconic viewpoints, and surrounded by the energy that makes this part of Los Angeles so sought after during the warmest months of the year.

This guide meets the needs of travelers searching for the ultimate Southern California summer.

Wake Up Steps From the Beach

Summer in Santa Monica begins outdoors. From the hotel:

  • Santa Monica Beach is only a short walk away—perfect for morning runs, sunbathing, or sunset walks.
  • Santa Monica Pier is close enough to visit spontaneously, with summer bringing warm evenings, ocean breezes, live music, and the glow of the Pacific Wheel.
  • Oceanfront bike and pedestrian paths stretch for miles, making it easy to explore the coastline without driving.

When the sun peaks, returning to a cool room with a sea‑facing window becomes part of the rhythm of the day.
