Making the Most of Endless Summer in Santa Monica

In Santa Monica, summer isn’t just a season — it’s a state of mind. While the rest of the country starts swapping flip-flops for boots, we’re still basking in golden sunsets, warm sand, and the salty ocean breeze. Whether you’re here for a weekend or lucky enough to call this place home, there’s no shortage of ways to make the most of our endless summer.

And, of course, it all starts with the right fuel from Dogtown Coffee.

1. Start Your Day the Dogtown Way

Before you hit the beach or stroll the Santa Monica Pier, stop by for the best coffee Santa Monica locals love. Whether you’re team cold brew, iced latte, or oat milk cappuccino, our summer menu is designed to keep you refreshed.

Pair your drink with one of our breakfast Santa Monica favorites:

• Avocado Toast – light, fresh, and perfect before a surf session.

• Breakfast Burrito – hearty enough to fuel a long beach day.

• Acai Bowl – cool, colorful, and sunshine-ready.

2. Beach Days Done Right

One of the perks of living in a place where the sun sticks around? Beach days can happen year-round.

Ocean Park Beach – just a short walk from Dogtown Coffee and ideal for paddleboarding, volleyball, or just lounging with a good book.
Santa Monica State Beach – a classic choice with plenty of space to spread out.
Venice Beach – perfect if you want to keep your toes in the sand while taking in street performers and skate culture.

Pro tip: Swing by for an iced coffee Santa Monica locals swear by before you stake your spot in the sand.

3. The Magic of the Santa Monica Pier

The pier isn’t just for tourists — it’s a piece of local history that’s always worth a visit. Ride the Pacific Wheel at sunset for unbeatable ocean views, or grab a cone and stroll along the boardwalk.

And when you’re ready for a snack that’s not fair food? We’ve got you covered with:

• Iced Oat Latte + Avocado Toast (the summer power combo)

• Cold Brew + Breakfast Sandwich (for those who want a little heartiness after a morning ride)

4. Keep the Summer Spirit Alive

Even as the calendar turns, Santa Monica keeps the vibe alive with festivals, outdoor yoga, beach concerts, and sunset movie nights. Our brunch Santa Monica menu pairs perfectly with a day full of activities.

Some local faves:

• Tongva Park picnics after a Dogtown breakfast.

• Bike rides along The Strand with a cold brew in hand.

• Evening walks on Main Street — and yes, you can bring your pup along for the ride.
