Featuring broad, sandy beaches, 3.5 miles of sparkling coastline and The Original Muscle Beach, Santa Monica State Beach is known around the world for its picturesque setting and natural beauty. From the setting of beloved 1977-1984 sitcom “Three’s Company” and the 1989-1999 television hit “Baywatch,” which became synonymous with Santa Monica’s red lifeguard uniforms and blue lifeguard towers, to “Rocky III” where Sylvester Stallone trains on the sand for his next big fight as the legendary character Rocky Balboa, Santa Monica State Beach can be spotted in dozens of productions.
