Beach closures hit Santa Monica as bacteria levels spike near the pier, while Nick Carter’s legal battle with Melissa Schuman escalates over privacy and career damage. Meanwhile, the pier marks the symbolic end of Route 66 for travelers, and summer kicks off with jazz, Tulum Thursdays, kids’ theater camp, beach soccer, an art show, and a magic act—all set against the iconic Santa Monica backdrop.
