Description

Photograph of bathers at Santa Monica Beach, ca.1940. People in bathing suits lie on the beach, some under the shade of large umbrellas. The beach curves around the left side and continues to the amusement park in the distance. Many people splash in the calm water as it washes up from the right. Tall buildings stand along the left side in the background.
