Yes my mom ws an L.A. beach bunny lol. It was the late 30's, she had lots of great friends. 7 kids would pile into an old jellapy and head for Hermosa Beach. My uncle Bill was an early surfer when boards were made of some type of light wood. If they had a few bucks, they would go downtown and dance to Glenn Miller, Duke Ellington, etc. They were pretty happy kids...until WW2 started. Then everything got deadly serious but they still found time for some fun now and then.
Enjoy your youth for it is soon gone and then becomes a distant memory of how you used to be.
Can i just say,.. love the background music
I love all these Vintage Treasures video. It's great to see these days gone by, the days my parents experienced. We've gained a great deal but we have also lost a great deal.

I was just thinking the same thing,...if you were to compare a pic of a busy beach shot today you would see a lot more obese people,.. just goes to show how much fast food, employment and attitudes to exercise has changed us. Also, kids would play out more instead of playing video games and watching tv etc.... very insighful.

I'm English and first visited the us in 1989. The thing that shocked me was the size of food portions in restaurants and fast food outlets. So much bigger than here. Plus back then, processed, ready made food was almost non existent. Now it's every where including over here and it's packed full of cheap ingredients such as palm oil, sugar, salt all of which are bad for health

I pulled up a current photo of the Waikiki surf club and all you can see are 15 story buildings towering over the beaches. This has happened all over the world today. As a young boy, I remember vacationing back in the sixties when none of the eyesore overbuilding existed. I tell my kids today that they will never know what the beaches looked like before asphalt and concrete took over. Sad.
I live in Jacksonville Beach. Fun to see these. Before the days of SPF sunscreen too lol
great video
Fun in the sun.
Da Saxophone ambiance his also great 💌
I love to carry my sister on the beach, or shallow water, either piggyback or sitting on my shoulders, in our swimsuits. It's fun! It stood the test of time from what I see.
One thing i noticed that really stood out; at least to me; is that you didn't have 325 lb. Land Whales walking around as though they were proud of it. Different Generation;; Different America.

And, even though they tried very hard to find photos of non-whites, the beaches and everywhere were MUCH safer back then when America was very white, like when founded.
You saved the best for last.
great days when most people were normal and green peace didn't have to drag some of the sunbathers out to deeper water

Can you do a video about Excelsior, Minnesota using old photos from the 1950’s to mid-1960’s? Show the old Excelsior Amusement Park in its heyday! Show the lake front park known as the “Commons.” Post photos of the magnificent Grand Stone Masonry Excelsior Elementary School! The Downtown streets and the old lake front properties on Lake Minnetonka along West Lake Street and Lake Street and others! That would be so nice if you can find those old photographs.!!! 🤷🏽♂️ 👍🏽

Interesting to see pictures with the horizon far from hoizontal ,a mistake we all make especially if concentrating on lovely girls !
Interesting mix of one-piece and two-piece swimwear on women. I noticed that even with the 2-piece suits, women never showed their belly buttons. My Mom was from that era, and she never liked to see belly buttons exposed on ladies all her life.
I live less than an hour from atlantic city. Their beach dont look like that nowadys, i can promise u that
8:52. What a cute girl and bathing suit! It must have looked somewhat shocking since so many around her were staring. Was it too sexy?
Some decent photos. Too bad you couldn't use an actual photo instead of clickbait for the thumbnail. Thumbs up for the content, thumbs down for the clickbait.
Anyone know where the pier is at the 2:26 mark? It looks like the pier in Old Orchard Beach, Maine. We spent summers there from Montreal. We took a train through the most beautiful places.
No fat people
2:03 that guy looks like he has a gimp mask on
Hardly any lardos since the food was healthier and the chemicals haven't yet infiltrated everything we're exposed to. 7:45, holy cow! - I have photos from that beach of my dad and grand parents hanging out around that time frame with the big tower shown. Maybe they saw this woman....
Unfortunately no sharp photo’s
Interesting from an European point of view. We always get the impression coloured people had no access to beaches. In stead I even see a mixed couple having fun, which is great too watch.

Yes, these photos show a great many colored folks... way more than were in the general population at the time, but that bias is very common here in Amer8ca today. They try very hard to present Africans as a normal part of society even when ALL statistics prove otherwise. Go figure...

Didn't think bikinis were this widespread in the 40's, in my country you could be fined for wearing a short skirt let alone exposing your stomach back at that time.
The reason I didn't subscribe is a lot of the same photos are the same inn different videos .
No FAT people ! Mc Donald's, Burger King,etc,etc etc , !!!! Yes Everywhere GOOD FOOD !!!!
Days without processed foods and without people being obese and unhealthy.
Certainly NOT Hollywood Celebrity images - just images of ordinary citizens enjoying a day at the various beaches in the USA. As interesting as this montage is, I prefer today's ordinary people, minus the tattoos, body piercings, plastic surgery-enhanced and botox-fake slubs you see everywhere these days!

Ha-ha-ha. Water was blue, americans were not fat.

This was before EVERYTHING was monetized. Now you have to pay for everything. Back then people could have good times and vacations cheaply. There was a middle class. But that was destroyed in Reagan’s war on people in the 1980s when the super greedy rich got massive tax cuts that the poor and middle class had to pay for. Over 12 TRILLION dollars has been stolen from the poor & middle class because of corporate greed and the ultra selfishness of the rich. And yet people say capitalism is their god and corporations can do no wrong. Back then there were countless small businesses. Now just 5-6 corporations control each of the major sectors. Just 5 oil companies control almost all our energy. Just 6 corporations control 95% of all groceries in grocery stores. Just 5 banks control all of banking. We once enforced laws against monopolies. Now people elect corporate prostitutes who protect monopolies. Ironically the same people who long for the days of old are voting in people who are trying to further destroy the middle class and any hopes of regaining the society we once had.
