Breakers From The Beach ~1910
Then....
There have probably been more dramatic changes in beach attire than there have been in cottage design!
2 Ocean Ave is shown at the far right and still stands today as does the Breakers Inn. The Breakers sported a large barn on what is now its back parking lot, and more recently, a small cottage found its way between the two structures. There was no sea wall, and a tall person could stand on the beach and look down on Bayview Avenue.

Photo taken 4/26/18
The new sea wall is perhaps the most obvious change along the beach front. Perhaps if this were a July or August photo you could easily see the change in normal beach attire.
