Flight leaves day after cruise ends

[Suzanne123]

We are doing a Celebrity California Coast cruise that ends Oct. 8 at San Pedro.  Our flight leaves at 10:30 the next morning from LAX.  Looking for suggestions on what to do and where to stay on the 8th.  
The Celebrity excursion that includes a tour with airport drop off is sold out. We are doing a whole day tour of LA the day before the cruise, so would prefer something else if possible.  Thanks.

Santa Monica.  Just remember, early rush hour traffic in LA is horrible.  Can take 30 min just to go 15 miles.  Culver City (Washington BL) is an up and coming night spot, pretty close to LAX.

Assuming you won't have a car and have no need to go visit Hollywood or other far-flung tourist sites, I would just Uber post-cruise to Santa Monica and check in to a hotel in the prime area of Santa Monica--near the Third Street Promenade, Santa Monica Pier and Palisades Park.  Maybe take a bus or Uber from there to Venice Beach, stroll along the Boardwalk (or, if you are in athletic shape, rent bicyces and ride the bike path from the SM Pier to the Marina and back)...then hang out at the SM Pier, walk along the edge of Palisades Park for the sunset, have some dinner somewhere in SM and stroll the Promenade in the evening to enjoy some of the evening street performers...

 

In the morning, it's a short 10-mile Uber ride to LAX...

Meander Ingwa - it is a Sunseeker Tour that will pick us up at the hotel in San Pedro.https://sunseekertours.com

 

Bruin Steve - Thanks.  Although 10 miles, do I need to allow more than an hour for transportation to LAX in the morning?

** Change of plans. After reading previous postings, we decided to stay in Santa Monica for two nights before the cruise instead of San Pedro.

 

Meander Ingwa - it is a Sunseeker Tour that will pick us up at the hotel in San Pedro.https://sunseekertours.com - I just wrote to them to see if they take tours from Santa Monica hotels.

I was going to suggest Venice Beach, Inn at Venice Beach.  Very close to airport and an interesting town
