very nice evening walk
Very nice area to walk around in the evening. I would recommend spending time at the beach (for us, it was walking on the pedestrian walkway) then walk around the 3rd street promenade to find a place to eat. Plenty of parking in several garages around downtown within a block or two of the promenade. We stayed at a hotel that was not walking distance but was less expensive, about 1.5 miles form down town and had no trouble parking and then walking around. Just take your parking ticket with you so you won't forget where you parked as the parking garages are city owned I think, and look alike.

Fun on a Sunny Day
The Third Street Promenade is a great place to take a walk and do some shopping. It is within walking distance to the Pier and the beach. They have some great shops and wonderful places to eat. They have special events at some of the eateries. When we were there a bar was putting on a great Drag Queen show in the promenade area for all to see and it was great fun. Parking is a bear and it can get crowded. The prices are also a tad high. Have fun.
