This beach was named after Will Rogers, who was a popular actor, philosopher, and cowboy in the early 1930s. He was the highest paid actor in Hollywood at the time and had a significant impact on the entertainment industry.
Will Rogers owned a ranch in Santa Monica during the 1920s, which eventually became the place where he could relax with friends and family. His widow donated the family ranch house, stables, and land to the State of California, creating the Will Rogers State Historic Park and Beach.
Visitors can enjoy beach wheelchairs, a 31-room ranch house, stable, corrals, riding ring, roping arena, polo field, golf course, and hiking trails. The beach also offers a stunning view of the Marina del Rey harbor.
Visitors have praised the beautiful view, the relaxed atmosphere, the cleanliness, and the availability of vegetarian options at the restaurant. Many have also enjoyed the peaceful and uncrowded nature of the beach.
