Big Dean’s has a perfect outdoor patio designed for people watching, pitcher drinking. Order food from their grill and wash down your worries with a cold brew. Read more.
One of the few remaining original Santa Monica spots. They’ve done a good job preserving its soul and local appeal. Great for people watching, a cold beer, and good bar food! Exceptional staff!
The captain’s platter, the cheeseburgers, everything is great here. The atmosphere is eclectic and the drinks are great! Absolutely love this place.
Once you find parking, the walk is very nice and depending on what time of the day, great for people watching.
Best time go 5:30 am
The view of the Pacific Ocean at sunset.
Great Bar, food and great place to people watch as people strut the Santa Monica Boardwalk.This is a favorite of mine for business lunches. I have not tried 1 Pico dinner restaurant upstairs.
Fantastic views of the sunset. Also an interesting spot for people watching and a really cute, clean restaurant on the beach.
Hidden gem. Quiet Friday evenings!
Fun people watching not sure these people look in the mirror before they leave their houses tho.
Very lively and beautiful. Lots of higher end stores and beautiful outdoor seating. Great place to enjoy shopping, good weather and people watching!
The top floor dining area is super chill. Definitely one of my favorite mall layouts. Free WiFi without any strings attached is great too.
Beautiful views, nice place to hang out and people watch.
So beautiful. Come in the evening for a quiet sunset on the beach.
great spot for an outdoor workout - - run or walk with a great view--watch the dolphins commute to Santa Barbara in the morning-

The best sunset is here and some of the performers are great.
Best funnel cakes... And they have dippin-dots!!!
This place is a lot of fun. Great for people watching, eating food and going on rides!
The only amusement park on the entire West Coast located on a pier. The roller coaster and Ferris wheel are must rides, sunset and at night when everything lights up are best times to visit.
Scoops ice cream. Nuff said!)
great people watching & great selection of fruits & veggies!!
This one of the best farmers markets. They have meat, seafood, fruits, nuts, vegetables including some Asian vegetables. They also have nice plants. Some vendors take cards.
Wednesdays - I get all my fresh produce here - you get to speak with all the farmers & vendors to keep up to date with what's fresh & the best quality and their recommendations. -Alex Reznik, Top Chef
Read, people watch, laze.
Love the ducks and Birds! Paradise for a young Child
Good place to lazy around.
Amazing grilled cheese and great people watching if you dig white people and hipsters!! I recommend the Brie melt.
Fully Loaded was amazingly delicious. Wait was long but well worth it...
Grilled cheese is the American take on Italian cheese pizza. Toss that around to impress others. #DontBlowIt
Cool spot to sit outside, people watch and enjoy a good breakfast. The pancakes are on point - fluffy and tasty. Pass on any specialty coffee.
Try the Brian's Wrap, but sub the ham for soy Turkey and add avocados! Super yummy with Tapatio.
The Nellish that I ordered I'm so exciting :)
Lovingly made in NYC, CHI, SEA & LA
