Aerial photo Santa Monica beach and pier, 1924This 1924 shot gives us a rare aerial view Santa Monica beach and (one of the incarnations of) its pier. I believe at this time the pier was known as Pleasure Pier—that rollercoaster looks impressively large. We can also see how sparsely dotted those buildings are. There are still lots lawns and yards for people to romp around it. I hope they enjoyed all that space while they had it!
