 Panorama of beach and Cliff House | Library of Congress (loc.gov)

This film is nearly 2 minutes.

This film is an afternoon panoroama of weekend crowds at the north end of Ocean Beach, the wester shore of San Francisco near the famed Cliff House. The film postdates the near by Dutch Windmill (1902) and predates the burning of this Cliff House (1907). Until the 1920s much of western San Francisco was open sand dunes blown inland from Ocean Beach, the five-mile-long untamed western shore of the city.
