Florida Family Fun: 1930

This circa 1930 silent amateur reel, Florida, captures a family’s Sunshine State getaway. Shot in black-and-white, it opens with the family driving along coastal roads—likely in a Model A—passing moss-draped oaks, a signature of Florida’s lowlands. At the beach, they splash in waves and lounge on sandy shores, perhaps near Miami or St. Augustine. Poolside scenes show kids diving and adults relaxing, framed by palms. A lighthearted home movie, it blends family leisure with Florida’s natural charm—beaches, mossy trees, and warm waters—in a pre-Depression escape.
