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.
At 1,971 feet, however, it definitely is long. Longer piers on the West Coast include the San Mateo Fishing Pier in San Francisco Bay (4,135 feet), Berkeley Pier in San Francisco Bay (3,000 feet), and Santa Cruz Municipal Wharf in Santa Cruz (2,745 feet). That would make the Ocean Beach pier the fourth longest.
