Asbury Bathing Board Walk Jersey Paddling Sea Side Suits Swimming

EDITORS COMMENTS
Step back in time with this image of Asbury Park, New Jersey, captured in the late 19th century. The scene unfolds on the sandy beach, where men and women don their bathing suits, ready to take a refreshing dip in the cool, inviting waters of the Atlantic Ocean. The bathing costumes of the era, with their high collars and voluminous skirts for women, and tight-fitting trunks for men, add a charming touch of nostalgia. The boardwalk, a popular American tradition, stretches out behind them, inviting visitors to stroll along its length and take in the sights and sounds of the seaside resort. Some opt instead for a more leisurely paddle in the shallows, using simple wooden paddles to propel themselves through the gentle waves. Asbury Park, founded in 1871, was a popular holiday destination for families and couples alike, offering a respite from the hustle and bustle of urban life. The town's beautiful beaches, elegant Victorian architecture, and vibrant social scene made it a must-visit destination for many Americans during the late 1800s and early 1900s. This historical photograph, with its lively and colorful depiction of bathing and paddling on the Asbury Park beach, offers a fascinating glimpse into the past, transporting us back to a simpler time when the pleasures of the sea and sun were the order of the day.
