A crowded stretch of sand at Miami Beach, framed by tall coconut palms whose fronds arch across a bright blue, cloud-dotted sky. Bathers in 1930s and 1940s swimwear sit, recline, and stroll along the shore with the surf behind them. The view is the classic resort image of sun, sand, and palms rather than a specific hotel or landmark. By the 1940s Miami Beach was a well-established oceanfront resort, and its beach and palm-lined shore were standard postcard subjects.
