Going to the beach has always been everyone’s favorite activity. Among friends, families and loved ones, it’s the place to just sit back, relax and maybe get a tan in the mid-time.
But the beach in 1970s carried a different kind of magic. Beaches were filled with people with their sun-bleached hair, in there bold swimsuits walking around, caring about nothing and just thinking about being near water.
All around there were coolers filled with sodas, camper vans, radios playing good music, and the sound of the ocean waves. People didn’t care about anything too much, they just wanted to enjoy the day as it came.
