It was the largest hotel
constructed in 1888.




The beach resort has Victorian







Famous guests include Thomas EdisonMarilyn Monroe, and Oprah Winfrey.





Some Like It HotMy Blue
Heaven, & others were
filmed here.




I imagine that this portion of the
building is an oft-cited
landmark.








The first electric lit Christmas
Tree was debuted to the public
in 1904.









The landscaping at the hotel
is beautiful.






The exotic Bird of Paradise










Eric & I stroll along the resort's
sidewalk & look out to the
beach & the sea beyond.

Walking northwest from the
Hotel Del, Eric & I see
sand dunes.










These sand dunes were not
formed naturally.








This is the results of his two year
project (1988 - 1990).






The tower at the northern point
of the peninsula is part of the
