The "Big W"
The fictional Santa Rosita Beach State Park, with its signature crisscrossed palm trees comprising "the Big W" amidst lush surroundings and featured in the 1963 comedy It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World, was a landscaped set built in 1962 in the backyard of the Harden Gatehouse on Palos Verdes Dr. S, in Rancho Palos Verdes. As of 2016, all of the "Big W" palms were gone.

This was my last good bye to the city of Los Angeles. I had found all the other locations for the film Masterpiece Its A Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World, but had never visited this site before. This is my last Los Angeles Film.
