About this postcard

The card labels the scene "Boardwalk and Beach from Curley's Hotel, Rockaway Park, N. Y." and shows a crowded stretch of sand and boardwalk, with bathers, walkers, utility poles, and early automobiles parked along the rail. Rockaway Park was one of the Rockaway Peninsula's seaside resorts, connected to New York City by rail and trolley and popular for summer bathing and boardwalk promenades in the early 20th century.
