Time Out says

What started as an opulent beachfront estate built by William Randolph Hearst for Hollywood star Marion Davies in the 1920s is now a modern, community beach club open to the public, thanks to Wallis Annenberg of the Annenberg Foundation, who provided $27.5 million for the transformation. Completed in 2009, the five-acre beach house accommodates a main house with a rec room for board games, ping pong and classes and events, a swimming pool, a splash pad, beach volleyball and tennis courts, soccer fields, canopies, a cafe and rentals for paddle boards. You can also take a sunset swim (adults only) on select evenings during the summer.

RECOMMENDED: Best public pools in LA

What’s on

Happy Birthday Marion!

What today is the Annenberg Community Beach House was originally the coastal home of silent film star and hostess extraordinaire Marion Davies. And the city of Santa Monica is celebrating her birthday this month with a free open house that will take you back to the golden age of Hollywood: Think live swing music, dance lessons, an Art Deco fashion show and tours of the still-standing Marion Davies Guest House. Vintage 1920s or 1930s attire is encouraged; RSVPs to the free event are requested.
