Hermosa Beach Pier

It was constructed entirely of wood even to the pilings and it extended five hundred feet out into the ocean.

This pier was built of concrete 1,000 feet (300 m) long, and paved with asphalt its entire length.

Small tiled pavilions were erected at intervals along the sides to afford shade for fishing and picnic parties.

Soon after, about 1914, an auditorium building was constructed; it has housed various enterprises and at present the public rest rooms, the Los Angeles Lifeguard Service, and the local branch of the LA County Library occupy rooms in the building.

The pier's frontage has changed in appearance over the years and electric train lines used to run along the coastline.
