Long Beach's pier stretches far out over the water in this panoramic view, with the shoreline crowded with bathers, umbrellas and onlookers along the sand. Long Beach grew into a popular seaside resort in the early twentieth century, when rail lines brought visitors from Los Angeles and the surrounding towns to swim, stroll the boardwalk and ride the amusements. Scenes like this one show how central the public beach and its long wooden pier were to community leisure in that era. The wide format also captures the sheer number of people who turned the coast into a shared summer gathering place.
