Chris hello from Delaware love your walking tours of my beloved Cali, lived there and me and the wife frequent back often but your vids tie us over!! Be safe all!
The sense of calm that descends over me whenever I am watching your videos is undeniable. Thank you for these moments of peace.
That’s what I’m saying, always calms me down. Haha
@@stevek5600 Stay connect!!!
Cute little Traverse traveling princess!
Its absolutely Glorious to see the pier with no one on it !!!
13:04 this is a Calm Quiet view we will never have again
Thank you so much for your video, Chris! So nice to see you carrying the Traveling Princess with you, she must have enjoyed the fresh air and sunshine
Thanks Alicia! She sure did!
Before I moved from California in the summer of 1988. The last job that I had was rebuilding the pier in Santa Monica after one of the winter storms made it a little bit shorter. And there are really two piers that run side by side , one is the city pier and the other is the county pier.
Neat! Thanks for sharing the factoid about 2 piers
I like the video before I watch because I have no doubt I’ll like it
Awesome Drycell!
That Bubba Gump is my favorite! Good food and the views north up the coast are perfect, especially at sunset.
The views are epic indeed!
Santa Monica is my youngest kids favorite place ever. Amazing video my friend and I can't wait to come back to this awesome place.
I'm getting our little explorer started early on loving it! :)
@@YellowProductions I have never seen the beach so deserted ever. And the churro guy is not there!!! That churro guy at the pier is a warrior lol.
I miss Santa Monica so much 😭 I was there last year in December to celebrate my 30th Birthday.
Hi bass Walking Tour of the SANTA MONICA PIER Great waiking chis
This looks so sad and serene at the same time
That's a good description
This was beautiful, and we loved your co-host!!!
Beautiful beach, ocean and walking tour!
Chris, this is great. Keep up the walking live streams. Working a 15 hr shift today, been listening to your various live streams since 0730 this morning. Still have two more hours left in my shift. Trying to figure out what to listen to next! Great work!
Right on! Thanks Chris 559!
Great video, loved seeing the Santa Monica Pier, brings back wonderful memories of our trip to Santa Monica, we stayed at The Georgian Hotel. Impressive workout Chris. Beautiful day for you the Travelling Princess to go out to the beach. Thanks Chris
Thanks Colleen! The Georgian has a great location right in the middle of it all. Good choice
great stuff again bro. cheers to the little princess and yourself!
Thanks Lin!
I'm really enjoying your walking tours. I watch another channel that does beautiful walks but there is no talking like your videos . I enjoy learning about the places, restaurants, shops etc. Please keep doing these.
Thanks Julie! I appreciate it! Will do!
Great video! Thank you for sharing.
wow santa monia is so bare - i'll need to make a trip here soon , thanks for sharing!
The Carousel!! 🎠 So many memories when I was little. And the arcade with Skeeball! At least you didn't have the marine layer today. 🙂 Thanks for this Chris!! Happy holidays and Merry Christmas!🎄
The marine layer came in about an hour after I shot this while our little explorer was playing in the sand. Just timed it right for sun
@@YellowProductions At least you made it! 😁
This reminds me of driving onto the pier to complete my Route 66 roadtrip...great memories
Nice!
This brings back such great memories of my first trip to Santa Monica last year! Although much busier then lol thank you Chris love your videos
Thanks Steve!
Hi Chris. Thanks for the tour of Santa Monica Pier. It's sad to see any tourist attractions not busy with people.It's great that it's open for the locals to enjoy without the crowds.
Thank you Chris! We Love your videos! Your Travel Buddy is SO Cute!
Thanks Debbie!
Wow - we were there last year was soo packed with people!
Love ya Chris. Whenever I’m having a bad day, ya always bring a smile to my face! You have more of a effect on people then you will ever know. (:
Thanks Steve!
Dude I swear every time I travel and look up a place you always show up 😂 thanks
Amazing how Santa Monica Pier looks like now. I was there last year pre covid19 and it was just packed , loved the arcades there playing the halo game. It was some great memories, one day this covid will be over
I was there March 9th before covid started . I definately had to change the places I go to. Now I go to Orange County Beaches more often where it’s less strict than LA County beaches
I’ll return here when no more covid rules exist
Great tour of that place. Thanks for the insight and details.
Aloha! Thanks Chris!
Thanks for the best selfie spot tip at 11:30. Visited last weekend with family.
Sweet!
THANKS FORTHE TOUR
Thank you. nice video .I miss Santa Monica....
Thank you for your video. I finally made to the Santa Monica pier. I loved it. Amazing view. Thank you 😊
Awesome Olga!
I had a class reunion on the Santa Monica pier. I did not go to school in California but I went to a performing arts high school and many of my classmates live in LA so we had it there! Awesome memories! But it was very crowded when we went its so empty now! I hardly saw any of this stuff other than taking pictures in the same spot as you suggested!
Very cool! That's a neat reunion spot
Hey Mr. Chris. You are totally spoiling us this week with all your video's. Once again I heard about Santa Monica but never have been there. The walking tour gave me an up close look at all of it. Thank you. Apparently walking tour videos are becoming popular. A couple other Vloggers I follow changed their channel over to just walking tours but they are boring. No talking or explanation like you do. I bet your mother in law is glad you and the "Little Explorer" are getting out of the house during your vacation week so she has the place to herself. lol Maybe she will do more in your garden. lol
Thanks M P! I think with the "weird" state the world is in right now its interesting to take a virtual tour and see what things are like now.. because many places are so different. This is the last one for this week :). I think I'll do future ones recorded instead of live.. don't have to pray so much to the 5G gods
Great views ☺️...we used to go to Balboa Park 🏖️🏖️🏖️
Love ur vids I’m a new sub. I hope things can recover in LA soon.
Thanks Zain! Welcome to the Yellow Productions Crew!
Makes me want to visit Santa Monica as soon as pandemic is over. I am a Zonie and usually held to San Diego’s beaches. But this looks like fun.
The Santa Monica Pier is pretty fun!
Santa Monica pier is a lot of fun. It’s just no fun at all during covid
Very cool!
Thanks Grandpa!
Great video
Thanks again Chris. I live in So Cal but haven’t been able to explore our beach neighborhoods. Nice to see!!
Thanks John!
I’ve been here a few times in the past year and love it . I’ll be back there on February 26 for a few days. Even though there’s not much going on, I’m still excited about going back.
It's always a neat place!
Ur voice is perfectly tour guidey. I feel like I'm on the Universal tram tour which makes me happy.
Thanks Omandita!
My home town!😃👍
Nice video Chris 🙂
Thanks Lau! Nice profile icon! :)
Nice! I’ve only been here in grand theft auto
I want to get on the next flight to LAX thanks to this video... Btw thanks for bringing your lovely baby girl on the vlog too.
Right on Delonte!
Wow nice! Thank you for sharing this Chris! Everything feels so different because of the Covid-19 situation. 😩
It sure does feel different! Thanks Robbie!
@@YellowProductions You're welcome and have a nice holidays as well! 😁
coll video 👍
The carousel, has been in so many movies, and TV shows over the years. If places could be listed with credits as actors are, the list would be endless.
The coffee bean has pretty good coffee. Always stop there when in Santa Monica for coffee and cake 👍🏻
Mmm
Thumbs Up !
Thanks Martin!
Great video as always, so quiet there. I hardly visit SM cuz it’s always so packed, btw it’s the 3rd St Promenade (not 2nd)
Thanks for the correction on the street number :)
I was almost going to say that but the rest of the tour kind of overshadowed it.🙂
A lot better then your previous walks because i can here u better and i can see a smoother walk down your path
You should to thus type of walking again this time redoing your walk from 2 days ago at a SoCal beach!
And what camera did you use this to film this walk?!
💟♥💟ur walk!
God Bless you
The riots that happened in the summer of 2020 really messed up the shops around the Santa Monica pier... it was a sad scene of boarded Shops and graffiti. Never thought I would see that in Santa Monica.
Welche Unruhen? Sorry, i dont know, because i am from germany and my Englisch is not good.😢
She's so cute ❤️ travel with her all the time 😊
Thanks Hannah!
It, s looks more like a santa barbara pier 😍🙏
LA❤️
Haven't even been here but this place has just been familiar my whole life rlly weird feeling
Great video! Planning to visit this summer. Is there a time off day to visit the beach with the least amount of people? Thanks!
The earlier in the morning you go the less people there are. I'd say the crowds start to descend around 11am
@@YellowProductions Thanks for the info!!
I go to the Santa Monica Pier once a year. Prefer to explore new places I haven't been too
Coll video ther
Cool video, so does this beach have a open & close time ? As well as Venice beach ? Or can people come and go as they please any time ?
The pier opens and closes at different hours throughout the season. The beach itself doesn't have a curfew in Santa Monica or Venice.
@@YellowProductions ok great thanks, i’ll be there im June so hopefully everything will be open
Things are trending good in California Dre. So hopefully!
I was just there last weekend and yeah it's bizarre to see it so deserted. Kinda post Apopcalypic!
For sure!
Nice video. Thanks.
If the Winchester Mansion is open to visitors, that might be a interesting place to film.
Another Californian legend.
Not sure though. I have heard a lot about it, but do not know whether those things perhaps are grossly exaggerated. If it is just a old house with a staircase that leads nowhere and one or two doors without rooms or closets behind them, that would probably not be worth a trip.
The Winchester mansion is really cool! It's hard to shoot good video in there as they only let you go on guided tours
@@YellowProductions I see, thanks.
Otherwise it might have been a good opportunity to use the 360 degree camera again.
Glad you found a good connection...that Newport Beach livestream was unwatchable, unfortunately; and you didn't do a Michael Douglas off the end of the pier 🙃🙃🙃
In this case I gave up on livestreaming it and just recorded it instead and uploaded when I got home
@@YellowProductions Good idea.
It's the "3rd Street Promenade" -- not 2nd.
Heh I had the SAME last year while walking there at 6 am. Same results :)
I could totally see that :)
hope you enjoyed the solitude and quietness of the pier as I bet you will be thinking back to this golden time once things finally open up and it's overcrowded with tourists haha.
What were all those papers by the trapeze
❤❤❤💞💖💞💖💟
I haven’t been to Santa Monica since March 9, 2020
I also hear they fine you for not wearing a mask, so my normal place is Huntington Beach for now.
Where's Topher?
Hanging out at home eating his bamboo :)
Zoltar from big
Do they offer jobs?
1:11 bruh you don't wanna eat at that Bubba Gump, worst seafood ever.
Three's Company, anyone?
I find it hard to believe not seeing oppressors, jets, cops, explosions, and chaos.
Been there before, water is cold like longisland beach.. miami beach better..
That’s the pier I kill everybody on in GTA 5 nice to see in real life
vaccine is here in california right now
Indeed! Just most of us normal people won't get it until March
Santa Monica isnt Los Angeles, Santa Monica isnt a tourist attraction of Los Angeles. Santa Monica is its own city with its own tourist attractions.
It's part of Los Angeles County last time I checked
man they stole all this from GTA
Or gta stole it from them either way it’s dope...
Is mask required? If so we wont come.
Where are the homeless
