Photograph of a view of the Breakers, Edgewater, and Castle Del Mar beach clubs in Santa Monica from the ocean, 1915. The three large clubs are on the shore in the distance. All three are large, rectangular buildings with two distinct wings and shades in front for beachgoers. Smoke is coming from a club at center. There are several people visible on the narrow, sandy beach in front of the clubs. The calm ocean is in the foreground, and a small motor boat with several people aboard is visible at center.
