Its boundaries are slightly ambiguous, but it is generally considered to be the part of the Pacific within an imaginary line drawn between Point Dume , in Malibu, California Malibu , and the Palos Verdes Peninsula . Its eastern shore forms the western boundary of the Los Angeles Westside and South Bay, Los Angeles South Bay regions. Although it was fed by the Los Angeles River prior to the river s catastrophic change in course in 1825, the only stream of any size now flowing into it is Ballona Creek . Other waterways draining into the bay include Malibu Creek , and Topanga Creek . History In the 1930s, gambling ships anchored beyond the three mile limit, then measured from the beach. The ships were popular and a fleet of ever larger ships and barges appeared until the State Attorney General got the limit recalculated to exclude the bay. The largest ship held off the state police for nine days with submachine gun s in what the newspapers called History of SantaMonica, California 1930s The Battle of SantaMonica Bay .
