About this postcard

The picture shows bathers relaxing on the sand and in the water at Tropical Tahiti Beach, with palm trees, thatched shelters, and striped beach umbrellas. The printed caption identifies the scene as "Bathing at Tropical Tahiti Beach, Coconut Grove, Miami, Florida." Tahiti Beach was a popular early-20th-century Coconut Grove resort area, and this linen-era card captures its tropical-themed leisure setting.
