The sign has photos of women in beachwear from the turn of the century to the present and reads:
"Fickle-Fashion
From Bloomers and Black Stockings
to Baggies and Bikinis
At the turn of the century, lounging couples covered the
beach much as they do today. But the women were fully
dressed and men wore hats and coats. laws prohibited
sitting on the beach in bathing attire.
Today, from bikinis to tankinis, women's beachwear
stresses comfort and individuality. The popularity of the local
surf culture makes baggy "board shorts" the most
popular choice for men's swimsuits."
