Santa Monica’s coastline holds stories that too often go untold.

This June, the Santa Monica Conservancy launches “Coastal Crossroads,” a powerful new self-guided tour exploring the city’s coastal landmarks, cultural sites, public art, and Black history. Timed with Nick Gabaldon Day and Juneteenth, the inaugural experience will feature historian Dr. Alison Rose Jefferson and her team sharing stories connected to Santa Monica’s Black experience, including the legacy of Bay Street Beach and the communities that helped shape this city’s identity.

Beyond the postcard version of Santa Monica is a deeper history of resilience, culture, community, and belonging. We’re grateful to see these stories being preserved, honored, and shared with the broader community.
