The Sun Pavilion and Wharf extends into the Pacific at Long Beach, California, with the pavilion at the end of the pier and a sailboat on the water. In the foreground, a group of people stands on rocks in the surf. Long Beach was then a growing seaside resort south of Los Angeles, and its beachfront piers and pavilions were part of the town's appeal.
