I was thinking about this the other day when on the beach in Spain. Looking out at the sea and ignoring any modern ships or buildings that may be in your periphery, you're seeing the same view that people saw 500 years ago. Made me think if people thought of the beach in the same way back then as we do now. A place to go on holidays and relax

I'm not sure but it definitely goes back further than the 1970's at least. Off the top of my head, there was surfing culture in the 60's and even the UK had resort towns that were big in the early 20th century before international travel became more accessible
