Description
Bradley Beach explores the history of this picturesque coastal community in the 1870s and early 20th centuries. In the late 19th century, James A. Bradley and William Bradner began buying and developing land along today's Bradley Beach, which featured miles of pine trees, sand dunes, and stunning beaches.
The town quickly became a popular summer resort for people from North Jersey and New York City, with beautiful oceanfront hotels catering to visitors who often arrived by rail. The town hosted many festive events, including holiday parades and spectacular fireworks displays, which encouraged repeat visits from seasonal visitors.
With over 200 vintage photographs, this book provides a unique glimpse into the history of Bradley Beach, showcasing its historic buildings, summer festivities, and stunning beach scenery.
