Photograph of a view of the Edgewater, Breakers, and Castle Del Mar Beach Clubs in Santa Monica, looking south from the water, 1920. The three massive beach clubs are seen on the shore in the middle distance. All three buildings have at least six or seven stories and two distinct wings. A tall tower emerges from the flat roof of the club at left. Several smaller buildings can be seen between and in front of the beach clubs. The beach in front of the clubs is sparsely populated with beachgoers. The ocean in the foreground is calm.
