By Carly Tennes

Published 1 year ago in Wow

After a long winter and a pollen-filled spring, summer has finally arrived! Memorial Day is finally here, kicking off everyone's favorite season. While we may celebrate our extra day off with trips to the beach and a dip in the lake, we're far from the only ones to do so — just take a look back at 1950s beach culture. 


From James Dean walking along the sand to Muscle Beach patrons living up to its name, here are 31 old-school photos of 50s beach days.
