Beach days have been a staple of summer days and family trips for generations. When the weather is warm, the sun is out, and the kids are antsy from being inside, a day at the beach would be the answer.
While beach activities such as building sandcastles, looking for seashells, and playing in the waves have stayed the same, beach attire has changed drastically.
People were going to the beaches 100 years ago, but the evolution of the bathing suit has changed. What was acceptable to show 100 years ago often made swimwear cover quite a bit more than what we see today.
Regardless, it didn’t stop people of all ages from making the trip and getting into the water and enjoying the surf.
Beach days allow for large groups and families to get together in a large, shared space that offers tons of activities, excitement, and nice views for all.
Let’s take a look at some snapshots of classic beach days from the early 20th century. It might not even look too different from what we would see at the beach today!
