Delaware and Maryland Beaches : 1905 – 1965

You love the beach. You always have. You share that with millions who went before you. You’ll pass it on to those that come after.
Through an image scrapbook of over 480 vintage postcards from the early 1900s into the 1960s, join the masses who first sought recreation and retreat along the coastal waters of Delaware and Maryland. Whether Ocean City, Rehobeth, St. Augustine, Bowers, Lewes or Bethany beaches, people fell in love and made their way back again and again.
Be it the sun caressing the horizon at daybreak in Bethany, going barefoot in the hot afternoon sand at Rehoboth, or strolling the moonlit beach to the rhythmic sound of the Ocean City surf, the mystical allure of the coast outlives us all.By Lee DixonLee Dixon is a full-time postcard dealer and an avid collector of Maryland and Delaware postcards.
