Ocean Park in Santa Monica is a beach community with a vibe that’s both effortlessly relaxed and rich with character. Its streets tell a story, once a lively turn-of-the-century seaside amusement district, now an eclectic mix of historic cottages, mid-century buildings, and modern coastal homes. The neighborhood carries a creative, slightly bohemian energy, where surfers, artists, and longtime locals mingle at corner cafés and stroll to the sand with ease.
With its walkability, colorful past, and unmistakably easygoing charm, Ocean Park feels like a small beach town tucked inside a thriving city, a place where the history lingers, the ocean sets the pace, and the vibe is always authentically “local.”
