Description
Photograph of the Breakers, Edgewater, and Castle Del Mar Beach Clubs in Santa Monica, ca.1920. The three clubs line the beach at center. All three are large buildings with at least six stories. The club furthest to the left has a prominent tower rising from the middle of its main building. The beach in front of the clubs is crowded with people, and several tents are set up to provide shade to the beachgoers. The water in the foreground is calm, and only a few waves are breaking on the shore. In the distance, the tops of several buildings are visible. The Castle Del Mar Club became Synonon in 1975.
