Beach life in the 1920s was marked by a shift towards more relaxed and recreational activities. Swimwear became more practical and less restrictive, with women wearing one-piece suits and men opting for shorter trunks.
Beach resorts and boardwalks became popular destinations, featuring entertainment like dance pavilions, amusement rides, and cafes. The decade also saw the rise of sunbathing as a fashionable pastime, reflecting a broader cultural shift towards leisure and outdoor activities.
In 1920s America, traveling to the shore became more common. While Coney Island in Brooklyn had long been a popular destination, a subway line completed in 1920 meant that more and more people could make the trip to the beach.
