22 Best Beaches in Los Angeles, From Venice to White Point | Condé Nast Traveler

"Once a resort founded by Willa and Charles Bruce in the 1920s to serve Black residents and later seized by eminent domain in 1924, this site has a painful history of harassment and dispossession; the land was returned to the Bruce family in 2021 and sold back to the county in 2023, and today the public park and beach stand as an important piece of Black history in Los Angeles that everyone can visit." - Maxwell Williams
