Photograph of a view of Venice Beach looking north towards Santa Monica Beach, 1910-1920. The ocean is at left and center and is crowded with swimmers. A narrow strand of sandy beach is visible at right, and many beachgoers can be seen. Running parallel to the shoreline is a row of large beach club buildings. In the distance at left, a pier is visible as it juts out into the water. Several structures can be seen on the pier, including a large wooden rollercoaster.
