Overview

Santa Monica station and a train, 1894

The station is located in Downtown Santa Monica, off-street in the block bounded by 4th and 5th Streets, Colorado Avenue, and the 10 Freeway.[3] The site is located in the midst of Santa Monica's Civic Center, within a short walk of the Pacific Ocean, Santa Monica Pier, the Third Street Promenade, the Civic Auditorium, and Santa Monica High School. The block was formerly the location of a Sears auto center, which was demolished in 2010 to make way for the station.[4]

A trip from downtown Santa Monica to downtown Los Angeles takes 47 minutes.[5]

During the 2028 Summer Olympics, the station will serve spectators traveling to and from venues located in Santa Monica and Venice.[6]
