Transportation near Santa Monica Beach

Walkers are something of a rarity in this city, so treasure your TAP Card, which gives you easy access to the extensive metro and bus networks that will whip you across town. If you’re renting a car - which is tempting considering the sheer size of this urban ocean - you’ll be using LA’s famously hectic and slow-moving freeways.
