Parking

The 1550 Pacific Coast Highway parking lot (located north of the Pier) is limited in parking space due to Cirque Du Soleil occupation. A new parking lot has opened just a block away from the Pier at 1680 Main Street (across from the Santa Monica City Hall). Also, alternative parking structures are located on 2nd Street and 4th Street between Colorado and Wilshire Boulevard.

Directions to 1680 Main Street lot from the Pier:
Take Colorado Avenue east bound (away from the Pier) and make a right on Main Street. The parking lot is on your right hand side - if you pass Pico Boulevard, you bypassed the entrance.

Directions to 1680 Main Street lot from the I-10 Freeway:
Exit the I-10 Freeway at 4th/5th Street. The exit will split: the left hand lane will lead to 4th Street; the right hand lane will lead to 5th Street. Follow the right hand lane that leads to 5th Street and make a left on Colorado and then make a left on Main Street. The parking lot is on your right hand side - if you pass Pico Boulevard, you bypassed the entrance.

Appropriate signage that leads to this lot should be posted by Friday, October 9, 2009. ***********************************************
