Annenberg Community Beach House Splash Pad

✓ Last confirmed for the 2026 season

A free splash pad with ocean views on the sand at Santa Monica's public beach club, once the site of a Hearst-era estate. Splash pad access costs nothing, though the beach house charges for parking and pool entry.

What's on site. OpenStreetMap maps toilets on site, drinking water, playground alongside, parking at this location.

When to go. Peak summer highs in Santa Monica average only 70°F, so pick a genuinely hot day and bring a towel and something warm for afterwards.

How long it's open. Roughly 30 weeks a year, from April to October. Seasons shift year to year and municipal pads often close early for maintenance, so check before a long drive.
