Santa Monica PierSanta Monica Pier is a hundred year-old Los Angeles landmark that offers a great place to hang out on a sunny day, grab a snow cone, and ride the Ferris wheel until your stomach turns. When you've had your fill of Santa Monica pier, you may consider heading down the coastiine for a quick workout at the original muscle beach in Santa Monica. Santa Monica Pier

Located not more than a quarter mile to the left of Santa Monica pier, the original muscle beach in Santa Monica has been thought of as the birthplace of the fitness boom of the twentieth century. The original muscle beach in Santa Monica is a historic landmark in the world of bodybuilding, while the workout area itself dates back to the 1930's. The collection of workout equipment is where famous fitness guru Jack LaLanne and other world famous body builders have trained, as well as celebrities like Kirk Douglas and Mae West.

 Santa Monica PierThe equipment near Santa Monica pier at the original muscle beach has been fully restored and refurbished since its glory days, and includes chin up bars of various heights, parallel bars, rings, a small jungle gym for children and a padded area for gymnasts, martial artists, and the occasional hula hoop enthusiast.

Once you've pumped some iron and channeled your inner Nadia Comaneci, be sure to take a nice stroll down the boardwalk to cool down, breathe the ocean air, and soak up the Santa Monica sun. Enjoy your day at Santa Monica pier!
