Girls have to have a place were they can hang out. Like an art museum, a shopping mall, a public pool, or even a library. There are many fun things a girl can do. But sometimes we don’t think, and we can’t really think of anywhere to go, or do, but hey Im here to show you all the different places a girl can explore in Santa Monica.

The public library is a great place to read a book or catch up on some schoolwork. They also have activities for kids such as kid adventure book clubs, computer classes, and also a creative kids club. When you need to study you can rent out a study room in the kids section down stairs, but remember to bring your library card if you have one. The public library is located at 601 Santa Monica blvd. Monday- Thursday is opened 10am-9pm. Friday & Saturday is opened 10am- 5pm. Sundays opened 1pm-5pm. For more info go to www.smpl.org.

A great place to hang out is the Santa Monica is the pier or the beach! The great thing about it is that if your spending a day at the beach you might want to spend some time at the pier for a while, because their right next door to each other. The pier is a fun, exiting amusement park. There are rides, cotton candy, popcorn, mini golf, games, and more! Every year they have the young actors from your favorite T.V shows come down to sign autographs representing the Santa Monica arts program. The beach is a great place to relax, get a sun tan, and to swim in the hot sun. You can also rent some bikes, roller skates, and also banana bikes there really fun to ride around.

Another great place to hang out is the promenade it’s a great to walk around with your friends and family and spend time together. There are stores, restaurants, movie theaters, and a big mall at the very end of the promenade. What also is cool is when you walk down, there are people performing such as break dancers, singers, musicians, and also some weird things such as smashing glass with your bare feet, standing on your head for 15min, and being wrapped in a chain and getting out of it in a quick amount of time. The promenade is located on 3rd street and Wilshire.

There are many places in Santa Monica as you can see, but I just can’t sit here telling you every single spot, on every single street. So here I named a list of places you can also check out.

• Santa Monica collage pool (public pool)
• The yellow balloon hair salon (kids hair salon)
• Bowling ally
• Pink berry ( located 17th & Montana)

• Ahhas (a store with games, toys, party supplies, and Halloween costumes.)
• YMCA (a workout place for kids & adults as well as classes. for more info visit www.ymca.net.)

I hope this helped you see all the places in Santa Monica, well most of it. Santa Monica is a great, safe, fun, and peaceful environment and we have to use it. Go and search these places I suggested and you will enjoy yourself I guarantee it.
