Description
Photograph of tents and trailers at Coral Beach Trailer Camp, [s.d.]. Tents with pointed tops can be seen interspersed with trailers attached to automobiles along the beach from the foreground to the left background. Several people are visible walking on the sand or on a wooden plank towards the foreground, including two men wearing suits, two children, and a man wearing a bathing suit. An American flag can be seen at left along with a sign that reads "Coral Beach Trailer Camp Section". A few cases of Coca Cola can be seen stacked on top of a balcony in the left foreground. The cases are partially obscured by a banner draped over them that reads, "Motor Boat [...]eedway". Triangular-shaped flags can be seen from top left to the right. The beach is visible in the background at right, while a road lined with utility poles can be seen in the left background.
