Watching the sunset, the people, the waves, and people walking by, I realized lots of people come to the pier just to relax and have a goodtime. They sit to watch the sun go down minute by minute, their kids playing in the sand, the air hitting their skin, and watching people spending quality time with family. You walk down the to the pier, you see all kinds of lights, stores, rides, and food places. You see lights from the Ferris wheel, lights from stores, stores to buy souvenirs, and food places to buy funnel cakes. It’s mostly a tourist attraction and people go just to be with family. They go there after some type of church event or possibly just their family event day to hang out. The beach and pier take up most of the space. The shoreline continues along the coast and the pier is where it always is. The thing I love the most about the beach is the different colors of the way the sky changes. I lie there and watch the sky, and how it changes overtime. I see the way the sky changes and how the climate changes and lie to think about how the way the sky changes. The way the climate changes changes my mood.

When we think of the beach, we think of it as relaxation and usually people use the beach mostly for relaxation. I interviewed my roommate and asked her, “Why do you like going to the beach?” She answered, “I like to relax while tanning under the sun!” When asking others why they enjoy something like the beach I believe everyone has different answers, however the most common are to spend time with family, to relax, or to get out of where you are. The most population of age gender is varied. Depending on the ages that go, it varies from older people to young generations. When I observed how people are dressed and how they are walking, I notice that people dress very laid back or are in swimsuits. I notice some walking in their bathing suits and just walk around like that, some wear dresses and sandals with hats. Others just wear jeans shoes and shirts. The most interesting thing about this is how people just wear casual wear to the beach. When people categorize the “beach” we think about water, sand, cans, bottles, seagulls, waves, kids, tanning, the sun, and more. When I go to the beach I think about spending family quality time. The best part about Santa Monica pier is going onto the pier and going on the rides. The biggest attraction is the rides and their lights. You see people walking the boardwalk but most of them are walking towards the rides. There are lots of people considering this is a tourist attraction. The best time about going to Santa Monica is going at night when all the lights are bright and on.
