More about this scene
Bathing is possible along some of the beaches at Cowes, particularly at Gurnard Bay. However, the currents are strong and the shoreline shelves steeply. Cowes' reputation as a yachting paradise overwhelmed all real attempts to open the town up as a simple holiday resort.

My father Mr Jim Rush is at the far right of this photo in a light shirt, looking rather windswept. At this time he was the proprietor of the Pavilion Hotel and also for a short time the owner of the Alexander Hall which he ran as a dance hall.
