Santa Monica is located on California’s southern coast and experiences beautiful weather almost year round. The city was named after Saint Monica of Hippo, the mother of Saint Augustine, because it was visited by Spanish missionaries for the first time on her feast day. Baywatch, the most popular television series of all time, was filmed on the beach in Santa Monica.LosAngeles.com: Santa Monica
