About The Purser
Living on the beach is within your reach! Ocean Front Lodge is located on the Chess Park (the original location of historic Muscle Beach) and volleyball courts and adjacent to the Santa Monica Pier. Ocean Front Lodge is also down the street from the Casa Del Mar and Shutters on the Beach hotels as well as a few minutes walk from the Third Street Promenade. Healthy living could not have been easier - jogs on the beach, surfing, skating, biking and walking are all an option when you live at Ocean Front Lodge. Originally named Purser Apartments, the building was constructed at the turn of the twentieth century and housed famous actors including Charlie Chaplin. Check out our BeachCam to see the view outside!
