About This Item
Windsor Publications . Hardcover. Very Good/Very Good. 11x8x0. The brilliance of the city's success story is deft-ly caught in Santa Monica: Jewel of the Sunset Bay. With a wealth of anecdotes and insights, authors Marvin J. Wolf and Katherine Mader disclose how the city "swam, strolled, and danced gaily into the pages of atlases." Visitors have enjoyed Santa Monica's delights since the 1840s, when the Marquez and Reyes families welcomed overnight guests on their properties. By the 1880s the town had become a favorite seaside resort, and its beachfront attracted an abundance of entrepreneurs. Santa Monica's first pleasure pier opened in 1895, followed quick-ly by others. Today one of the city's most beloved sites is the Santa Monica Pier at the foot of Colorado Avenue; declared a Santa Monica City Landmark in 1976, it stands as a tangible link with the community's colorful past. Santa Monica's development of the recreational opportunities offered by its splendid setting is just one part of the story.
