When the tide permits, about noon, as many as wish to enjoy, to the utmost, every breeze of sea air, parade the sandy beach, and compose one of the most cheerful medleys. The warmest conception would perhaps be inadequate to the beauty and liveliness which the sands then display. Splendid chariots, towering phaetons, and parties on horseback vary the scene: thus, each pursues the most eligible or convenient method of enjoying the salutary exhalation, and takes sea water in at every breath.
Cole/Scarborough, 1825
