Here’s a 1949 home movie of Coney Island, New York, during the day. 

The clip begins with a wide shot of a boardwalk. Pedestrians walk toward and away from the camera. The sign “Washington Baths” is on at least two sides of a building. 

A steel-frame tower -- called the Coney Island Parachute Jump -- stands in the distance. People are parachuting off the top of the tower. Some parachutes are moving up towards the tower’s top. At the base of the tower is a billboard for Seagram’s 7, a liquor. A couple is seen on one of the parachutes, descending quickly. 

A wide shot shows a beach covered with beachgoers. A woman lays her head on the lap of her lover. 

A wide shot of the beach’s shoreline shows both the Atlantic Ocean and beachgoers milling about. A few people are in the ocean. 

An African-American woman, a mother, tugs at the swim trunks of her son who is shirtless and who is either drinking from a cup or finishing a cone of shaved ice. 

A couple in swimwear lay on the sand, hugging and caressing each other. 

The clip ends with another wide shot of the shoreline showing beachgoers walking on the sand, sitting on the sand, getting suntans, and so on.
