Summer in Santa Monica (well, any season for that matter) is best spent with day-to-night outings, meeting new and interesting people, and occasional naps on the beach. In between the adventures you must stop at this locals stomping ground, Ashland Hill.
Located directly off the drag of iconic Main St. on the edge of Santa Monica and Venice, Ashland Hill sits as a haven for locals and tourists alike, looking for a place of refuge from the sun, a place to cozy up during dinner, and most of all, a place to find delicious drinks and mouthwatering dishes.
