Description
Photograph of bathers crowded onto a beach at Santa Monica's Ocean Park, ca.1910. The beach is at center and is full of people lounging in the sand beneath multi-colored umbrellas. A tall lifeguard tower sticks up above the umbrellas at center. The ocean is visible at left, and a handful of people can be seen playing in the small waves. Several large beach club buildings line the beach at left, and a pier is in the distance at right. There are several structures on the pier, including a rollercoaster.
