Captain Lockwood's Dufaycolor film captures a day in 1935 and starts with a couple cavorting on the beach and later emerging from a swim. We then see the family atop the beach. Wrapped in towels, a woman advances before being tickled by a man. Beach huts can be seen in the background. Then we see a small child by a groyne, fetching seawater in a toy bucket. We then relocate to the family garden where two women relax in deckchairs and swing-seats. Both make funny faces for the camera.
