The Happy Beach Bums from San Onofre
August 5 – November 15, 2012
This extraordinary exhibition focuses on 150 black and white Polaroid photographs taken by architect Don Davis of the families and friends that frequented San Onofre State Beach from 1960 to 1964. These photographs include noteables such as actor James Arness and his son, world surfing champ, Rolf; Hobie Alter; Brennon “Hevs” McClennand; and the Whitey Harrison clan.
This slice of history will trigger memories for anyone who has enjoyed the “Waikiki of Southern California.” And who knows-your family may even be included.
Member’s Preview Reception, Saturday, August 4. All Members receive mailed invitations to the preview parties at SHF. If you are not a Member and would like to be invited to the exclusive Member’s Preview Party click here.
