Established in 1926, it quickly became a prominent social and recreational hub for the affluent residents of Long Beach and surrounding areas. The membership included many of the biggest names in Long Beach -- the Llewellyns, W. Harriman Jones, Jotham Bixby and Walter Desmond.Originally conceived as a beach club, the Pacific Coast Club boasted a stunning location overlooking the Pacific Ocean. The club's Mediterranean Revival-style architecture and luxurious amenities, including a grand ballroom, swimming pools, tennis courts, and a private beach, made it a sought-after destination for social gatherings, parties, and recreational activities.During its early years, the club attracted an array of notable personalities, including Hollywood celebrities, business tycoons, and political figures. Its elegant setting and exclusive ambiance made it an ideal venue for extravagant parties and high-profile events.However, the Pacific Coast Club faced its share of challenges over the years. The Great Depression in the 1930s and the subsequent World War II had a significant impact on the club's operations. Financial struggles and wartime restrictions led to a decline in membership and limited activities.Despite these challenges, the Pacific Coast Club managed to survive and even thrive in the post-war era. It underwent renovations and expansions, adapting to the changing tastes and needs of its members. The club continued to be a symbol of luxury and sophistication, hosting various social events and providing recreational amenities to its members.Tragically, in 1988, a devastating fire broke out, completely destroying the historic building. The Pacific Coast Club ceased to exist in its original form, marking the end of an era. The site was later redeveloped, and a residential complex now stands in its place.Today, the legacy of the Pacific Coast Club lives on in the memories of those who experienced its grandeur. It remains a testament to the opulent beach clubs that once graced the Southern California coastline, serving as a reminder of an illustrious past.
