The historic Gold Coast portion of the beach stretches from Wilshire Blvd. to Santa Monica Canyon. During the 1920s, William Randolph Hearst built the estate for Marion Davies, designed by the same architect, Julia Morgan, who had created his Hearst Castle at San Simeon. This estate quickly became the hub of much Hollywood entertainment. Due to limited space, tickets are best purchased in advance at the Conservancy’s website www.smconservancy.org.
