General information

One of the most beautiful cities in Southern California, Santa Monica is the perfect place for a romantic getaway or relaxing, stress-free vacation away from the office. Ranked highly among private jet travelers, Santa Monica charter flights take you to the city’s white-powered beaches, vibrant culture, and breathtaking views of the Pacific Ocean. Surrounded by Los Angeles on all sides – Pacific Palisades on the northwest, Brentwood in the north, Mar Vista on the east, and Venice on the southeast, Santa Monica is a popular residence for corporate executives and Hollywood celebrities as well as affluent renters, surfers, and young professionals. The city is an easy walkable 8.3 square miles, and plays host to a number of fun activities such as surfing and paddleboarding, biking, and sightseeing. A visit to the famous Santa Monica Pier is where you can catch a ride at the historic Pacific Park amusement park, see the ocean life at the aquarium, and take an oceanfront walk along the paved footpath to the area’s numerous beachside cafés and shops that will keep you and your family entertained for hours during your stay.
