There’s still time to build your boat for this year’s Cardboard Yacht Regatta!

Gather your crew, break out the duct tape, and prepare to set sail across the Beach House pool in one of our favorite summer traditions.

Using only corrugated cardboard and duct tape, teams will race their handmade yachts across the water in a morning full of creativity, chaos, and community spirit. Whether your boat glides to victory or earns the trophy for “Most Likely to Sink,” we’ll be cheering you on either way!

📅 Saturday, June 13 | 9AM-1PM

📣 Spectating is free and highly encouraged

Preregistration is required to race, so don’t wait too long to start building!

A huge thank you to everyone who spent their Saturday with us at Take A Moment: An Unplugged Day of Rest.

On May 2, the Beach House welcomed all types of rest: physical, mental, sensory, creative, emotional, social, spiritual, and so much more. Throughout the day, guests created art, listened to live music by the pool, joined sound baths, floated in the water, gardened, picked up a new book, and even simply took a quiet moment for themselves. Thank you all for embracing this restorative takeover at the Beach House.

We’re also incredibly grateful to the artists, partners, and staff who helped shape such a thoughtful and restorative day, including Seda Saar, Camille Langston, Nailah Hunter, BLACKMUSEUMIST, Friends of the Library, and the Office of Sustainability and the Environment.

Until next time. 🌊💛

Sunset Picnics are back at the Beach House 🌅

We’re kicking off this summer series with a special Route 66 Edition in celebration of the iconic highway’s centennial anniversary!

Inspired by the spirit of the open road and classic Americana, this sunset gathering will bring a little piece of Route 66 to the coast. Pack your perfect picnic spread and join us for an evening of ocean views, live music, communal tables, complimentary s’mores (while supplies last), and Route 66-inspired fun.

More details coming very soon… 👀

🚨 Just THREE Saturday mornings left for Floating Fitness! 🚨

There’s still time to jump into one of the most unique workouts in Santa Monica. Floating Fitness combines elements of HIIT, calisthenics, and stand-up paddleboarding for a workout that builds strength, improves balance, and deepens flexibility—all while floating on the water.

This class is high intensity but low impact, and it's a whole lot of fun!
