Halachic note
Santa Monica follows the local custom of lighting candles 18 minutes before sunset. The Shabbat-end time shown uses tzeit hakochavim (8.5°). A 72-minute alternative is also shown for those who follow that opinion.
Santa Monica offers a welcoming, beach-adjacent Jewish community with several synagogues and an eruv. For Shabbat, visitors can find hotels near shuls and should plan ahead for kosher meals, often sourced from nearby Los Angeles neighborhoods like Pico-Robertson.
