National Register #81000172
Beach Chalet
1000 Great Highway
Golden Gate Park
Built 1925

The Beach Chalet, designed by Willis Polk, opened in 1925 with a lounge and changing rooms on the first floor and a restaurant on the second. The murals, mosaics and wood carvings were completed in 1936 as part of a federal works program.

The Beach Chalet is a good place to relax over a brew or a burger after exploring Golden Gate Park.

For more photographs of Golden Gate Park, please see National Register Listing #04001137 and an interactive map of Golden Gate Park.

The Beach Chalet stands on the Great Highway facing the cold and foggy Pacific near the Dutch Windmill.
