Rare Photos-A Day at the Beach....1955

Those first shot are definitely at Trestles/San Onofre, that parking area, cliffs in the background, Marine base, and THAT break all scream it. You can still camp close to the beach there, up on the cliffs, and walk down to the beach. Waters warm cause of the nuclear power plant thats cooled with sea water. You may glow afterwards, but it is a nice place, not as good as it used to be, but not as bad as it could be either.

 

Very nice pictures, sometimes I think about how great it was back in the day, they had the cars, beer, beach and women and a lot less bullshit.
Thanks for sharing, mark

 

Great pics, thank you for sharing. They must have been real good times........Cheer`s Bri..

 

Great Pic's, I think paperdog is on to something, that is a Dodge wc53 carry all going through the dune in the first pic, as well as showing up several more. Those guys are all clean cut guvmint issue hair and chute. Love it anyway, I still enjoy SoCal when I can!
JMHO,

 

Va Va Voom.....

 

This thread rules. I love looking at all the old cars in the aireals. I wanna peel out on a beach with bias plys!

 

Dog427435, I grew up in Daytona Beach. Your pictures sure do bring back lots of memories. Some of the places I don't recognize but most of them look familiar. I like the old BOARDWALK scenes. My era was 60's to 70"s. Joined the Marines and have never been back.

More Wasaga Beach...mid 60's

 

there is the way we used to do it, that lady has it together as good as any traveling gypsy back in the day

 

I love the picture of the cars that are half buried in the sand ,

like they might have been left by their owners for too long

and they have been set aside by the city for someone to come along and claim..

Looks somewhat like a junk yard ,
some of them looked stripped of some parts

others look like they have been their a long time !

I would love to know the story behind that!

 

This dudes got the essentials, bomb and beer!

 

Life looked so simple back then, great pics. Thanks !!

 

Fantastic!
