Description
A wide view shows a dense tent city of striped and thatched-roof shelters arranged along a broad sandy roadway near the shoreline. A long pavilion or streetcar-like structure runs along the left side, while a large resort building with red roofs rises in the distance. A few small figures walk among the tents, emphasizing the scale of the camp-like seaside setting. The card is dated 1900s.
