About The Purser

A Beach Retreat to Call HOME

The Purser is an established and familiar visual feature of the seafront landscape, which was once the “Atlantic City of the West” with its burgeoning recreational activities on Santa Monica beach from the beginning of
… the twentieth century.

One of the most photographed buildings in Santa Monica, The Purser is the sole physical reminder of Santa Monica’s historic Muscle Beach. As a marker for this bygone moment in Santa Monica history, as well as a rare remnant of beachfront development from the first half of the twentieth century, The Purser is a well-established and familiar visual feature of the beachfront, immediately south of the Santa Monica Pier.

The Purser is an apartment community in Santa Monica, CA
