20 cool retro shots of how you relaxed on the beaches in the 30s

The sultry summers, the heat and the scorching sun leave us nothing but a saving holiday on the beach by the cool water. Yes, we don’t complain too much! After all, what could be better than warm sand under your feet, the sound of the surf, a refreshing breeze and fun beach activities? Someone lies motionless in the sun all day, others tirelessly splashing in the waves, some spend hours playing active games on the coast - a common picture. Or not?

We decided to find out how people relaxed on the beaches of the world in the first half of the last century, and found a series of interesting photographs that show what vacationers were doing near the water, what kind of entertainment was in use and what beach dresses were in fashion. Watch it!
