Santa Monica Pier

Na obali Tihog okeana, u zapadnom delu Los Anđelesa nalazi se grad Santa Monika. Ja sam imala to zadovoljstvo da obiđem Santa Monica Pier, najstarije pristanište zapadne obale Amerike, staro sto godina. To je znamenitost gde pored velikog broja meštana i turista možete naići i na ulične izvođače, restorane a i zabavni park.

Filmovi Titanic,  Forrest Gump (na ovom pristaništu nalazi se restoran Bubba Gump Shrimp Company Restaurant koji je u vlasništvu producenata ovog filma), Not Another Teen Movie, Iron Man, Cellular samo su neki od poznatih filmova snimanih na ovom pristaništu.Takođe, ovo mesto vam može biti poznato i iz raznih spotova i serija.

Ljudi širom sveta su čuli za Rutu 66 – postala je američka ikona, kao Merlin Monro i Džejms Din. Ova ruta više ne postoji, ali je od samog početka, iako spora,  imala poseban šarm i mistiku kakav ni jedan drugi put nema.  O njoj su se pisale pesme, snimali filmovi, i jedini je put na svetu koji je imao popularnu, višegodišnju TV seriju o sebi. Važnost ovog istorijskog puta je uglavnom simbolična. To je bio obećani put brojnih emigranata tridesetih godina, koji su putovali na zapad u potrazi za boljim životom. Pedesetih godina su tim putem putovali avanturisti, i bio je sve popularniji. Mali gradovi uz put su oživeli, nicali su moteli i restorani… Na ovom pristaništu nalazi se kraj te čuvene rute.
Ovo je pravo mesto za šetnju u bilo koje doba godine a i dana, i ova plaža će mi definitivno ostati u posebnom sećanju!

 Santa Monica is the Los Angeles area’s true “urban” beach, located on the shore of the Pacific Ocean.It’s Iconic LA landmark and beach experience.

I’ve had the pleasure to visit Santa Monica Pier, hailed as the oldest pier on the West Coast. There you can find lots of  tourists, but locals also, street performers and so many activities.

Besides restaurants on the pier and  the ocean view, you will find an amusement park called Pacific Park with a carousel and Ferris wheel.

This is also a  popular location for fishermen.

We had the opportunity and take a peek at the New York trapeze school, try a Japanese hot-dog and hear the live musicians.

Clean air that smells like the sea, lifeguard towers, sand and waves, colorful (even during the gloomy day), are just some of the features of this wonderful pier.

Movies Titanic, Forrest Gump, Not Another Teen Movie, Iron Man, Cellular are just some of the famous films shot in this pier. 

People around the world have heard of Route 66 – it has become iconic, just like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean. It ends right here, in Santa Monica Pier.

  This is the right place for a walk at any time of year and day, and this beach we will definitely stay in a special memory!  I hope to come back sometime.
