It was here that the childhood home of Brian, Dennis, and Carl Wilson developed their unique musical skills.  During Labor Day weekend 1961, they, their cousin Mike Love, and a friend Al Jardine, gathered here to record a tape of their breakthrough song “Surfin’.”  This marked the birth of the rock group known worldwide as the Beach Boys, and the beginning of an historic musical legacy.  The music of the Beach Boys broadcast to the world an image of California as a place of sun, surf, and romance.
