Doric Surf Rider Inn - Santa Monica, CA - Vintage Hotel - Unisex T-Shirt

The Doric Surf Rider Inn, located at 1700 Ocean Avenue in Santa Monica, California, was a notable seaside motel that operated during the mid-20th century. Renowned for its proximity to the beach, the inn offered guests easy access to the Pacific Ocean and the vibrant Santa Monica Pier. One of its distinctive features was the "Cork Room," a popular on-site restaurant and bar that attracted both locals and travelers. The Doric Surf Rider Inn was emblematic of the classic Southern California beach culture, providing affordable accommodations and a relaxed atmosphere. Over time, as Santa Monica underwent development and modernization, establishments like the Doric Surf Rider Inn gave way to newer enterprises. Today, the site has been transformed, reflecting the city's continual evolution and growth. This design is part of our vintage retro collection, celebrating the defunct golden era seaside motels of yesteryear.​ Printed on our super soft ring-spun & combed cotton unisex T-Shirt.
