On September 9, 1909, after sixteen months of construction, the Santa Monica Municipal Pier opened to the public. Thousands of people swarmed onto the 1,600-foot-long concrete pier to enjoy a festive day of band concerts, swimming races and the novelty of walking above the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
Along the seawall, visitors find another homage to the cityâs past at the Galveston Island Historic Pleasure Pier. The boardwalk-style amusement park stands where the cityâs original pleasure pier stood from 1943 until 1961, before being destroyed by Hurricane Carla. The pier includes 16 rides, games, retail shops and food venues.
