Description

Photograph of a view of Redondo Beach, looking south towards the railroad pier from a pier in the foreground, ca.1926. The beach is crowded with beachgoers and bathers, many of whom are resting beneath umbrellas. Several people are watching from a raised walkway in the foreground. There is a high embankment running parallel to the ocean at left, and it is lined with trees. The ocean is at right, and the long railroad pier runs across the image from the center to the right in the distance.
