Crystal Pier stood off the shore of Santa Monica, California, United States from 1905 to 1949. Opened as the White Star Pier in July 1905,[1] it later went by other names at various times including Hollister Pier, Bristol Pier, and Nat Goodwin Pier.[2] Located at the end of Hollister Avenue, along what is now Will Rogers State Beach,[3] Crystal Pier was the smallest of the Ocean Park amusement piers.[4] In the 1930s, Crystal Pier stood north of the Ocean Park Pier and south of the Santa Monica Pier.[5]
