Photograph of a view of a crowded beach scene along Pacific Coast Highway with a cliff in the foreground, [s.d.]. The highway runs from the foreground at left towards the background at right, where it is hidden from view by a steep cliff in the foreground. Many early-model automobiles can be seen parked on the sides of the road and in a lot at left. The beach is visible in the background at left and is crowded with people and umbrellas. The ocean is visible further in the distance. In the foreground at right, a woman watches the scene below from behind a railing on top of the cliff.
