1914 Chalfonte Hotel Atlantic City Beach New Jersey

This vintage postcard takes you back to the early 1900s with a lively beach scene at the Chalfonte Hotel and Bathing Grounds in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Captured in a moment of seaside enjoyment, the postcard shows a group of people holding hands in a circle in the water, while others enjoy the sand and surf. The iconic Chalfonte Hotel and other buildings line the coast, serving as a picturesque backdrop to the busy bathing grounds.

The Chalfonte Hotel has a fascinating history, originally founded in 1876 in Cape May, the first seaside resort in the U.S. The Atlantic City location, shown here, was a vibrant and popular spot in the early 20th century before being repurposed during World War II and eventually transformed into a casino before its demolition in 1980. Today, the Chalfonte Hotel still operates in Cape May, continuing its legacy as a charming seashore destination.
