 Getting to the Beach House

The new Annenberg Community Beach House is conveniently located at 415 Pacific Coast Highway, just north of the iconic Santa Monica Pier and right off the beach bike path. Parking ranges from $8 on weekdays to $10 on weekends, or take advantage of the bike racks located throughout the site. Or set your sights on the Beach House as a goal for your next walk – the pedestrian bridges from Palisades Park make it easy and fun to get there on foot.
