Photograph of a view of El Pismo Beach from the cliffs south of the town, ca.1905. The beach is at center in the distance and is a long, sandy strip of land bordered by steep rocky cliffs at left. A long wooden pier juts into the water at center. The buildings of the resort town are faintly visible behind the beach. There are small waves gently breaking on the shore in the foreground, and several mountains are visible in the distance. Photoprint reads: "The resort town of a great beach. The splendid beach, good roads and excellent hotel have made it a favorite spot for automobile meets".

本照片拍摄于约1905年，取景于埃尔皮斯莫海滩（El Pismo Beach）所在城镇的南部悬崖，展现该海滩的风貌。海滩坐落于远景的中央区域，为一条绵长的沙质岸带，左侧以陡峭的岩质悬崖为界。画面中央有一座修长的木质栈桥伸向海面。海滩后方隐约可见度假小镇的楼宇。前景区域可见细碎的海浪轻柔地拍击岸线，远景中还能望见数座山峦。照片题注写道："这座以绝佳海滩闻名的度假小镇，凭借绝美的沙滩、优质的公路与顶级酒店，成为汽车集会的热门举办地。"
