Kids Could Spend Time At The Beach Without Watchers
Teenagers had fun on the beach in beach flicks of the ’60s. The entire family would take a trip to the beach. Children were born to be in the water. As soon as your parents started setting up the beach umbrella and chairs, you’d want to go to the sea. Then they let you go, telling you to “remain where I can watch you.” Lifeguards were like nannies to the children, in a strange way.

Sunscreen Wasn’t Invented Yet
In the 1960s, when tanning was at its peak, there was no UVA/UVB sun protection available. If you remember, your mother was more concerned with speeding up the process of tanning your skin than she was with protecting it from the sun when she applied sunblock to you. Using baby oil that included iodine, children in their twenties were able to shield themselves from sunburn while also using a reflector to avoid being fried in the sunlight.
