Santa Monica pier is a centenarian today. I have lots of fun childhood memories from the Santa Monica pier, eating fried clams and playing ring toss games. To celebrate the centennial, there will be festivities all day, capped off with a fireworks display.

The pier features the world’s first solar-powered ferris wheel, lifting riders over 130 feet above the ocean! They just ended their Twilight Dance series of Thursday night concerts but it’s a good spot to visit any time of the year.
