Leave the crowded pier behind on a relaxed Santa Monica sunset walk to quiet bluff-top viewpoints overlooking the Pacific.

About this tour

Skip the crowds at the Santa Monica Pier and watch sunset from quieter viewpoints above the Pacific. This one-hour Santa Monica Sunset Walking Tour begins about 45 minutes before sunset, with a relaxed walk along the Palisades bluffs and coastal lookouts many visitors miss.

As you explore, your local guide shares stories and history from Santa Monica’s coastline and beach culture. The easy-paced route offers time to take in the changing light and discover photo spots along the way. The walk is timed to reach a peaceful lookout around sunset, when the sky glows over the ocean. With one departure each day, the experience follows the evening’s natural light.

Choose this Santa Monica Sunset Walking Tour for a calmer alternative to the busy pier, whether you’re hoping to take photos or simply enjoy the coast at golden hour. Bring comfortable shoes, a camera, and water, and discover a quieter side of Santa Monica as the sun goes down.

How this score is calculated

This score is based on one provider. GetYourGuide rates it 1.00 from 1 review. We place that rating among all GetYourGuide ratings and weight it by its review count. If the tour is found on another provider later, both ratings are combined.

How the score works and rating distribution in Los Angeles
  • Each provider rating is turned into a percentile: the share of that provider's ratings it beats, weighted by review counts.
  • Listings on different providers are combined in proportion to their review counts.
  • Tours with few reviews are pulled toward the average until more reviews come in, so a handful of perfect reviews can't top the list.
  • The result is shown from 0 to 10: this tour scores 7.0.
