The average is 325 days of sunshine for this coastal city with the average August temperature being just 71 degrees and the average December temperature in the early 60's. With cool breezes blowing in from the ocean, and fresh, clean air most of the year, who wouldn't want to relocate to Santa Monica?

Of course, Long Beach also has miles of beautiful sandy beaches for you to enjoy year round. This beach city is one of the most educated cities in the United States offering an abundance of activities, (including the Santa Monica Pier) and an attractive night life. The art and culture parts of Santa Monica are worth bragging about. There are over 120 museums, galleries, and public art displays in the city. Shopping and dining are fabulous along the Third Street Promenade. Gay night spots and housing areas are available. Close to L. A., but ideally far enough away to have its own personality , Santa Monica is a desirable city to call home.
