This seems to be at the tail-end of the prudish era- the guys are still wearing tank tops, the gals in long bathing suits and even stockings in some cases. It seems that there was a world of change in beach attire during the 1920s.

This photo just goes to show that people could still have a good time and actually function quite well without the gadgets we can't seem to do without nowadays!
