Description: This divided back postcard depicts a busy bathing scene at Palm Beach, Florida, with bathers in period swimwear wading and swimming in the surf while others sit or stand on the sandy shore. A wooden pier with a pavilion structure extends into the water at the left. The card's printed caption notes that the Gulf Stream keeps water temperatures between 70 and 75 degrees, making Palm Beach a desirable winter bathing destination.
