DAY 3 — SURF, ART & SUNSET ELEGANCE

Morning

In true SoCal style, start your day in Santa Monica with a beachside breakfast followed by a surfing session. Fuel up while taking in the ocean views at 1 Pico within Shutters on the Beach, where the Italian-American menu includes classics like omelettes and benedicts alongside burrata-topped toast.

Then meander down to the beach for your private surf lesson arranged by Oceana Santa Monica. One-on-one instruction and premium gear help surfers of all levels get more comfortable on the waves while experiencing an integral sport to Santa Monica’s spirit.

Afternoon

For lunch, make your way to Terrazza at Hotel Casa del Mar, where large windows frame the view of nearby Santa Monica Pier. It’s an idyllic setting for enjoying the restaurant’s Mediterranean, seafood forward menu, where post-surf dishes like poke and fish tacos await.

In the afternoon, step off the beach and enjoy exclusive access to one of the region’s iconic cultural institutions: the Getty Villa. On a curator-led private tour, you’ll explore the museum’s collection of Greek, Roman and Etruscan antiquities as well as its tranquil peristyle gardens.
