Our History

Pete's parking, lunch stand and cabanas ca 1930's.

About Pete's:

Pete's was located on Ocean Blvd between Baldwin Ave and Bellmore Ave. I took the picture from in front of my father's house which was adjacent to the lot on Bellmore . I would guess the picture was taken in the late 30's. Perhaps someone with a knowledge of "vintage" cars can better estimate the year.   Because of severe beach erosion Pete's was washed away, and the house was moved to 105 Parkside Drive .
