Historic legacy, contemporary beach life
The Beach House is a unique, inclusive community destination on Santa Monica State Beach: splash pad, playground, open seating, free wi-fi, beach courts and fields, community and cultural events, and the Back on the Beach Cafe. Tour the Marion Davies Gold Coast era guest house year-round, and during summer, take a dip in the historic pool. It's all made possible by a generous gift from the Annenberg Foundation, at the direction of Wallis Annenberg, in partnership with the City of Santa Monica and California State Parks.
