As the calendar turns to November, Santa Monica’s seaside charm embraces a winter spectacle with “Ice at Santa Monica.” This seasonal ice rink, operating from November 1 through January 15, transforms a slice of the California coastline into a skater’s haven, just a short stroll from the Pacific Ocean.
The rink, nestled within four blocks of the ocean, bursts into life each evening as the setting sun dyes the sky in vibrant hues. Over 8,000 square feet of ice, plus a 400-square-foot tot rink, the area will be adorned with sparkling lights and festive decorations. Whether you’re an adept skater or stepping onto the ice for the first time, the experience of gliding in this picturesque setting is a great way to celebrate the holidays.
