On September 9, 1909, after sixteen months of construction, the Santa Monica Municipal Pier opened to the public. Thousands of people swarmed onto the 1,600-foot-long concrete pier to enjoy a festive day of band concerts, swimming races and the novelty of walking above the waters of the Pacific Ocean.
In 1890 Shanklin was in its heyday as a beach resort and a pier was built for visitors to the town, followed by a lift from the top of the cliff to the beach that was finished in 1892. The pier is long gone â finally finished off by the storm in 1987 â but the lift is still in operation during the summer months.
