The Surf Club
The doors to the Surf Club opened on New Year’s Eve 1930. Designed by architect Russell T. Pancoast, it became the gathering place for some of the times most wealthy and most famous – Winston Churchill, Harvey Firestone, Frank Sinatra, Elizabeth Taylor and Dean Martin, just to name a few.
Founded by local luminaries Firestone, Irving Collins and Carl Fisher – it was created as a private place to socialize away from the bustle of the resorts. And what they built would become legendary as an exclusive hide-away for local elites and their friends.
