Needing a way to beat the heat this week? There are still plenty of ways to cool off at the Beach House.

Our Splash Pad is open daily from 9AM–7PM, giving you plenty of time to play and enjoy the water! After that, take a break under the shady umbrellas in our Courtyard, or head down to the sand with direct beach access just steps away.

Pool season may be taking a break, but beach days are here all year long. Come hang out and cool off with us!

Join us Saturday, October 3 for the opening reception of Portraits: Faces and Waves, featuring new photography by Sam Comen and Anthony Friedkin.

Comen turns his lens toward people, with portraits created during a pop-up studio on the Santa Monica Pier this summer. Friedkin turns toward the ocean, capturing waves in fleeting moments before they disappear. Together, their work explores two subjects that are never quite the same twice: faces and waves.

Come experience the exhibition for the first time, meet the artists, and enjoy light refreshments with us at the Beach House Gallery!

📅 Saturday, October 3 | 4PM–6PM
🎟️ Free and open to all, RSVP in link in bio

Portraits: Faces and Waves will be on view October 3, 2026 through March 28, 2027.

For the past several months, Water is a Currency has asked us to look at something so familiar in a different way: water as memory, movement, history, inheritance, and connection.

With the Pacific just steps from our Gallery, the exhibition brings together the work of seven artists reflecting on the stories we carry through water and the ways water carries those stories with us.

Now, Water is a Currency enters its final week at the Beach House.

📅 On view through Sunday, September 27
📍 Beach House Gallery
🎟️ Free and open to all

If you haven't experienced the exhibition yet, we hope you'll take a moment to visit before it closes—and perhaps see the water outside a little differently on your way out.
