History
Santa Monica evolved from a beachfront stop on early Southern California carriage roads to a 20th‑century coastal escape; LAX grew from Mines Field in the 1920s into one of the world’s busiest airports.
Conservation
Coastal traffic contributes to local emissions; choosing a direct private transfer can reduce time idling compared with multiple shared shuttles. Respect local beach access rules and keep luggage and waste secured to prevent litter.
