The Santa Monica tank, for the town that is where Route 66 meets the Pacific. Lightweight Airlume cotton jersey with the Santa Monica vintage retro logo on the chest in black, for the hottest months of the year.

The tank is the summer Santa Monica piece: light enough for the trail, the boat and the porch, cut in a retail unisex fit that runs true to size. Order it before the warm weather does the deciding for you.

Lightweight Airlume combed and ring-spun cotton jersey in a retail fit that runs true to size for adults. Side-seam construction and self-fabric binding keep the shape, and the label is tear-away. Solid colors are 100% cotton, while select heather/prism shades may include cotton–poly or cotton–poly–rayon blends.

Senator John P. Jones of Nevada and Colonel Robert S. Baker founded Santa Monica on July 10, 1875, as a seaside resort, donated Palisades Park on the bluff the same year, and the city incorporated on November 30, 1886. A mile-long wharf served as Los Angeles’s port from 1893 to 1903, and the Pier opened in 1909, the last of the bay’s amusement piers.

Route 66 runs 2,448 miles from Chicago and stops at that wooden pier, where the Ferris wheel runs on sunlight and the 1922 Looff Hippodrome houses the carousel; Douglas Aircraft was founded here in 1921 and the first round-the-world flight set out from Clover Field in 1924. Three and a half miles of beach and the bluffs are the mark on this piece.

All Santa Monica California Items

Santa Monica as a town dates to 1875, when a Nevada silver senator, John P. Jones, and a ranching colonel, Robert Baker, laid it out as a seaside resort — a "Pearl of the Pacific" they hoped would become Los Angeles's great port. Jones built his railroad and his mile-long wharf, and for a time the port dream was real: Santa Monica served as the region's port of call into the early 1900s, until San Pedro took the harbor trade for good. The city incorporated in 1886 and kept the better inheritance — the beach.

The sand wrote its own history. Just south of the pier in the 1930s, the original Muscle Beach opened — gymnasts, acrobats, and weightlifters working out in the open air, launching the physical-culture boom that reshaped American fitness before the scene migrated down the coast. And the beach itself — wide, state-run, and seemingly endless — became simply California's beach: the one the postcards, the songs, and the closing shots of a thousand films actually mean.

Why People Visit Santa Monica

Santa Monica rewards visitors with a rare mix — a historic amusement pier, the western end of Route 66, miles of state beach, and one of America's great walking downtowns, all on a bright Pacific bay. People come for the pier and the End of the Trail, and stay for the sunsets off the bluffs and the easy, salt-aired grace of California's beach city.
