Description
A slightly elevated view, facing east, of the beach, Pike, pavilion, and pier in Long Beach. There are hundreds of people on the the beach, some dressed in suits and dresses, others in bathing suits, and several people in the water as well. A rowboat is heading toward the shore, and a little ways away a group of men are holding a rope that goes into the water. There is a row of stores, shops, and booths along both sides of the boardwalk on the left which, together with the rides, made up the Pike amusement park. In the background, the pier extends out into the ocean, with the Sun Pavilion at the southernmost end. There is a mechanical ride on the far right, next to the lunching pavilion.
