The Santa Monica Pier and Pacific Park fully reopened Friday. But crowds of tourists and local residents prompted police to limit access Sunday night, and local officials said they are prepared to do so again if necessary.
With coronavirus cases on the decline, vaccinations increasing and temperatures warming, Santa Monica has seen a number of tourists and travelers find their way back to the beach and popular shopping areas around town. Even with the relaxed regulations, it’s been many weeks since visitors were able to enjoy a ride on the iconic Ferris wheel or Pacific Park roller coaster; however, the park reopened rides just in time for the holiday weekend after receiving approval from the state and county.
