The paved paths are mostly smooth except where the earth is settling or where the brown squirrels have dug out the ground near the railings that overlook to the beach. There are plenty of food vendors to buy a lunch and enjoy a picnic. There is paid parking lots and bicycle parking as well. There are bathrooms that a secured by an attendant at the entrance. I loved the people watching and the views of the beach area. It was very relaxing.

    I have walked through this park many whenever I am visiting the Santa Monica Pier. Mostly because I…read morepark on the PCH and have to walk through this park to get to the pier. Palisades Park is a long linear park that stretches over twenty-six acres along Ocean Avenue. I love the view of the beach from here. There are picnic areas, benches, restrooms and monuments throughout the park. It is a nice park to take a stroll and enjoy the cool breeze from the ocean. Some things to check out while in the park are the Santa Monica Camera Obscura and some civil war canons near the iconic Santa Monica Pier entrance sign.

Follow Google direction, once it announces arriving at the destination, put on your left turning signal and wait to make a left onto Corona del mar side street to park your car. Since it is a timed visitation, you probably meet a few enthusiastic also heading to the Eames HOUSE. Say hello and walk together. First question popped from all of us is "are you doing the exterior or interior?" Lol who got $200 something loose change in the pocket? Turns out, the Eames Foundations really rely on the interior tour proceeds to up keep this historical home. It is sad seeing the white curtains are bleached by the California sun it reminds me of Pringo chips while the exterior wood panels seasoned by the ocean spray like 60 days aged steak. While pacing ourself along the railroad wood passageway, the guide invites us to look into the inside of the kitchen, the living room and spiral stairs. The building is constructed with exposed steels and glasses which fulfilled one of the criteria of the competition- to utilized materials that were invented or used during the WWII. I really appreciate the Eames House is spared from the wild fire.

Charles and Ray Eames were a husband and wife team most known for their iconic furniture designs and explorations with bent wood. This house was their personal residence and quite special since you can see they were also collectors of exotic and odd artifacts from all around the world. The house you can see inside of but you cannot take pictures from anywhere closer than 10 feet away and they do offer interior tours but they are expensive. The cost to enter was pretty high and my kids were bored quickly but I could not help but nerd out with the docents about the Eames. I'm much thankful for some of the personal anecdotes and stories they shared. Views are amazing and you can see the beach from their backyard. When we went it was the first time the studio had ever been open to the public but instead of a working preserved studio it was an empty room with large posters and computers explaining their work. Not worth coming here to see just the newly opened studio if you've been here before. They have a small amount of gifts and souvenirs for sale, I regret not buying the Eames collaboration Polaroid camera.
