How to get there

N34° 00' 41.3964"W118° 29' 43.5408"
This look down view is of the Ocean Avenue & Colorado Avenue intersection. It's located directly in front of the road that leads down to the pier with a giant sign that says Santa Monica on it. If you're looking at the pier, there is a small park area located on the right side of the intersection that has benches and landscaping. This is a safe spot to fly your drone from and you'll still have a line of sight with the crosswalk. It's easiest to park in the nearby public garage, accessible directly off of Colorado Ave. The first 90 minutes are free, so you should have plenty of time to get out of there without having to pay. Be careful on going over 90 minutes because the fee adds up very quickly.
