Description

Photograph of Santa Monica Beach and Pier, ca.1930. People stand at the rail of the wood-planked pier in the foreground as they look at the beach at center. People in bathing suits with umbrellas over them flood the sandy beach into the distance. Many people wade in the ocean which washes onto the beach in the background on the left. Buildings stand against the cliffs across the background.
