Information About

Ocean Avenue (santa Monica)




Since Ocean Avenue overlooks the ocean, many tourist hotels, restaurants, and expensive real estate can be found here. Two blocks to the east is the Third Street Promenade . At the intersection of Ocean and Colorado is the Santa Monica Pier . Palisades Park is also home to much of the famed Santa Monica homeless population.

Many major east-west arterial roads such as Wilshire Boulevard , Santa Monica Boulevard , and Pico Boulevard begin their western ends on Ocean Avenue. Past Pico, Ocean turns into Neilson Way. After Neilson Way hits Venice Beach , the street becomes Pacific Avenue, which ends in Marina Del Rey .

The intersection with California Ave leads to the Pacific Coast Highway .
