Things to Do In and Around Santa Monica

When you stay at Viceroy Santa Monica, you live like a local: laidback, easy and fueled by curiosity. What will each day bring — a sunrise walk on the beach? Workout on the Santa Monica stairs? Spin around the Pier? Day trip to the Getty? You have easy access to it all, and there’s more than one way to get around. Jump on our Priority bicycles, available for complimentary rental, and pedal to the shore, Pier or Expo Line that heads straight to downtown LA. We’re a home base from which all good adventures begin.

The Santa Monica Farmers Market

Founded in 1981, the Santa Monica Farmers Market has grown from a small community gathering into one of the country's most celebrated markets, renowned for its commitment to fresh, local produce and sustainable farming practices. Amongst chefs and locals, explore the vast weekly harvest ranging from organically farmed produce, cheeses, honeys and preserves, locally caught seafood, eggs, flowers and more, all a testament to California’s pioneering farm-to-table movement.

Chef’s Fall/Winter Highlights: Persimmons, passion fruit, avocado, melons, apples, white guavas, purple Brussel sprouts, artichokes, and marigolds.
