Santa Monica enjoys an enviable location close to the stunning beaches of the California coast, as well as the glitz and glamour of Hollywood and the wider Los Angeles area. The climate is also fantastic with over 300 days of sunshine every year. The easy going, beachfront lifestyle of the city has long been a draw for all manner of people, from movie stars and musicians to surfers and students. This unique mix of location, climate, and a laid-back attitude is also why Santa Monica is such a popular destination for completing our TEFL/tesol certification course.
For over 100 years Santa Monica has been a popular destination with day trippers from Los Angeles, and a major tourist destination for visitors from all over the country. In the early years the beachfront was crammed with attractions such as amusement parks, piers and dance halls, and the famous Santa Monica Pier is still at the center of the fun with all manner of rides, video arcades, bars and restaurants. Although much changed over the years, the 3.5 miles of beachfront still offers plenty of things to see and do, with beautiful parks, picnic spots, a cycle path and the original Muscle Beach training area.
As well as having plenty of local attractions, Santa Monica is also a great base for exploring the bright lights of Los Angeles. The magic of Hollywood is undoubtedly near the top of many visitors’ agenda, with movie studio tours, the Hollywood Walk of Fame and the iconic Hollywood sign all popular attractions. Other popular places to visit include the Getty Center, the Walt Disney Concert Hall, famous streets such as Sunset Strip and Rodeo Drive, and the beachfronts of Venice and Malibu. With so many fascinating sites in and around the city, it is no surprise that our Santa Monica course attracts trainees from right across the country and even further afield.
