Children at the Beach

Oh how much fun my family and I would have when we visited the beach. It could be some sandy stretch along the Atlantic Ocean, a pristine lake at a park or a small pool tucked along a mountain stream. Water temperatures varied greatly between locations but getting wet and having fun made the blue lips worth it.

This section of Reusable Art shares a myriad of vintage images of children at the beach. Some are brightly colored like a kaleidoscope and others are simple shades of black and white. All of these beach scenes are in the public domain. That means they could be safely used in all of your craft projects.
