They didn't seem to miss the girls, though!

Lack of one doesn't mean lack of the other

No girls, but there are plenty of bloomers in evidence.
Can't imagine trying to swim in those things.

Striped suit boy on the extreme left seems very suspicious of the photographer.

No Girls?

As a red blooded teenage young man in the 60's I find the concept of no girls at the pool or the beach highly offensive. I can get wet in my bathtub. You go to the beach/pool to see cute girls in cute bikinis and to do a copious amount of flirting. The thought of a boys only beach is un-American and frankly a little creepy. Just ask Frankie or Annette.
