Beachwear sure was formal back when this (undated) photo was taken. Unlike the men, at least the little girls get to bare their legs!

Chewing out a rhythm on my bubble gum
The sun is out and I want some
It’s not far not hard to reach
We can hitch a ride to Rockaway Beach!

As a kid I had been to Rockaway Beach many times. My bathing attire was a lot less formal though. It was pre-Ramones era as well.
