Nostalgia & Recipes Tent City: 1939-1953
Imagine spending a summer on the beach, sleeping in a tent, having fun on the sand and in the ocean all day and every day! At the southern end of the barrier island near the stone
jetty just below Diamond Beach, between the years of 1939 and 1953, more than 100 tents were set up there each summer.
