BEAUTY STRAND
IS OCEANIC BEACH
MOST PICTURESQUE RESORT
ON PACIFIC COAST
LAKES AND TROUT STREAMS
Pure, Fresh Water From the Noun
taIns TumblIng Into the Sea.
Beach 900 Feet Wide
and 1s Miles Long
LAKES AND TROUT STREAMS

Oceano beach--of course you have
heard Of the new Pacific coast resort
for 1t is not only conner, but a reality.
Nature put oceano beach on the map
of California many years ago, and ma
tives found 1t delight to visit the
spot, but while 1t was not dignihed with
a fetching name such as Geogre e.
Hart has bestowed upon the resort 1t
was none the less attractive and charm
ing to the early discoverers.
Oceano beach is located 11o miles
north Of Los Angeles and twelve miles
from San Luis Obispo, adjoining
Oceano station on the line of theSouth-
ern Pacific railroad, point where pas
sengers catch their first glimpse of the
Pacific as they come down on the
coast line from San Francisco. The
beach is regarded as one of the finest
in the world-but let George H. Hart
tell about 1t.
Beach Attractions
In brief interview Mr.. Hart said
10 " f1eTdlu IIldls OCSdllO DedCll 10 DS-
yond question the finest beach in the
world for beauty, grandeur and at
tractiveness, the superior Of Palm
beach. Florida, or Ostend in Europe.
The strand is 300 feet wide and eigh-
teen miles in length-clean white sand
as hard and smooth as asphalt, natures
perfect driveway, an ideal speedway
for automobiles. 1t is the finest race
course to be imagined, course that
wins the instant admiration of every
autoist and horse owner who has vis-
ited Oceano. There is no speed limit
everything goes. Even now scores of
auto drivers turn at Oceano going
north or south to enjoy a spin on the
perfect strand.
IF were to begin telling you about
the attractiveness of Oceano beach I
would never stop. 1t IS story like
an endless chain. Fishing! Nothing
like it anywhere on the coast. You can
stand on the strand and with a line
200 feet long catch salt fish in the sea
and without moving throw the same
line 200 feet into Oceano lake to the
west and catch fresh water fish. Fact.
