Description
Photograph of a view of the Ocean Park beach and the Santa Monica Pier looking south from Palisades Park in Santa Monica, [s.d.]. The Pacific Coast Highway runs from the foreground at right into the distance at left and is lined with early-model automobiles. The right side of the road also has several beach houses and a large, two-story bath house. The beach is visible beyond the buildings at right and is full of bathers and other beach-goers. The pier is in the background and stretches across the entire image. At left are several amusement park structures, including a roller coaster and a bowling and billiards hall.
Legible signs include, from left to right, "Stop Here", "Bowling and Billiards", and "Bath House".
