Description
Photograph of a view of Santa Monica Beach looking south from the Palisades, ca.1908. The beach is at right, and running next to it is a two-lane paved highway. Making its way parallel to the road is a railroad. There are tall cliffs at left, covered in a variety of plants and trees. A small group of buildings is visible at center near the water, and a long pier juts out into the ocean from near these buildings. There is a shorter pier in the foreground, and two people can be walking along the sand at right.
