Will Rogers State Beach

Will Rogers State Beach, located on the Pacific coast of Southern California, in Pacific Palisades, is protected by the California Department of Parks and Recreation.

The beach was named after actor Will Rogers, who in 1920 bought land and set up a ranch along the coast. He owned 186 acres of land. Rogers died in a car crash in 1935 and his wife Betty in 1944, after which the ranch became a state park.

On the beach there is a swimming pool, toilets, a playground, gymnastic equipment, a bicycle rental point and bicycle paths. There are also available underwater hunting, volleyball, surfing classes. Many films and television shows were filmed on this beach ("The Creature from the Black Lagoon", "Kiss", "The Executioner" and others).
