Photograph of a woman seated near the edge of a Palisades Park cliff. Two large palm trees stand nearby on the right.

View faces south towards a stretch of Pacific Coast Highway (California Highway 1), with cars lining the road and parked in lots near what are presumably beach homes, clubs and businesses. These structures follow along the Highway and beach- the beach populated by crowds on the sand and in the water. At center sits the Santa Monica Pier and Yacht Harbor, marked by several buildings and numerous nearby ships. A large building and several other structures line its pier. Beyond the pier, the coastline continues into the distance. Photographed at the foot of Montana Avenue, above the Sorrento Beach Club.
