Definitely a place full of history.

This Beach was once owned by the Bruce's, an african american married couple, which they purchased in 1921. They purchased it in order that blacks across California would have a beach to go to and enjoy themselves. White city officials tried everything in their power to persuade blacks from going to the beach.

The tactics were downright dirty.

Eventually, in 1924 city officials realized that they could not dissuade blacks from coming to relax and enjoy themselves at Bruce's Beach. The city or county then used the Eminent Domain Law to illegally usurp the land from the Bruce's through racist means.

It was not until recently that either LA County officials (possibly LA City Officals) decided to give the land back to the Bruce's through their descendants of the Original Bruce's who purchased the land in 1921. According to some reports, the land is worth $20 million dollars. However, I beg to differ. If you see in person for yourself all the expensive housing located near the beach, you will know that $20 million is an understatement.

At any rate, the beach is now black owned. Beautiful piece of property which is the shore of the Pacific Ocean.

American History at it's best.

Be sure to visit and enjoy yourselves. I enjoyed my time there and will revisit again soon.

Thank me later.
