About this postcard

The caption identifies the scene as the pier at Ontario Beach, N.Y. The beach is crowded with bathers and strollers in early-1900s dress, with a low wooden walkway extending into the water and a steamboat and pier buildings beyond. Ontario Beach Park, on the Lake Ontario shore at Rochester, was a popular resort in this era.
