What are some fun things to do in Santa Monica (and surrounding areas) if your a teen?
I_m going with my dad, and i want to know some fun things we could do in santa monica and surrounding areas that wouldn_t be totally lame.

Beach, pier thats about it.

Definitely check out the Santa Monica pier

It_s super cute
and its totally what people picture when they think of the beach in California

also, there_s GREAT shopping
i think it_s on 8th street or something?
but i_m not positive
its pretty close to the pier

3rd street promenade on a friday or saturday night. Lots of stores and crazy people performing.
