Know before you go

• The Route 66 'End of the Trail' sign at the pier's west end is the required group photo.
• Pacific Park's Ferris wheel lights up after dark with an LED light show.
• The beach below the pier has restrooms, volleyball nets and the Marvin Braude bike path — easy group scatter time.

Tips for group trips

• Coaches stage at the designated bus parking on Ocean Ave south of the pier — no vehicles on the pier deck.
• Ferris wheel wristbands make group accounting simple; the rest of the pier is free to walk.
• Sunset is the money shot but weekends get packed — early evening weekday is the sweet spot.
