Description
Photograph of a birdseye view of a crowded beach near Pacific Coast Highway in Santa Monica, ca.1930. The highway runs from the foreground at center to the background at left and is a two-lane paved road. Automobiles can be seen driving on the road, parked on the shoulder at left, and parked in lots at right. The wide, sandy beach can be seen at right and is crowded with beachgoers and umbrellas. Several small shops and buildings can be seen in the foreground at left, next to a railroad track that parallels the highway. More buildings are visible in the background at center. Legible signs include, from left: "Sandwiches", "Fireworks", "Soda", "Ballantynes", "Volkman's Barbecue", "Bath House", "Rite Spot Barbecue", and "State Beach Dedication Here July 8".
