Special Club Features

The Beach Club is a private, member owned, equity club located in Santa Monica, CA.  The Club lies on the sands just north of the Santa Monica Pier, directly off of the famed PCH (Pacific Coast Highway).  The BC is known for its outstanding member culture, as well as its staff tenure and multiple generations of member families.  The Club is the members “home away from home” to all who visit it, an extension of their living room and an escape from the hustle and bustle of life in LA.  The pillars the Club were founded on in 1923 remain the heart of the Club today: Family, Athletics, Social and Community.

The BC team pushes typical Club boundaries to create fun, excitement and memories for its members and their guests.  Every generation of member, from toddler to senior, is valued and equally important, and club programming reflects that belief.  Personalized service is a hallmark of the Club, and is expected throughout the operation by all team members.  The community spirit is shared by all staff and members, and is a bond closer than you will see in a club anywhere.  The Club is relaxed, yet also conservative and elegant.
