Bayshore Beach
Hampton, VA 23664
Carol,
While we have always focused on our beloved Buckroe, we cannot ignore the fact
that Bayshore was just down the beach.
Of course, we didn't like to think much about it in the early 60s,
but we cannot ignore it as an old icon of the era of segregation.
It deserves a place on the site.
Perhaps its addition will spur some recollections.

Thanks, Dave!

I found this on E-Bay. It is dated as being from the 1920s. Notice the coaster on the right. The geometry of the photo tells me that it is not the Buckroe Coaster, but I don't recollect that Bayshore had one. The ensuing discussions will tell us. |

I'm Always Here (Baywatch Theme Song)
|
|
The Sand and the Sea Artist: Nat King Cole Words and Music by Hal Hester and Barry Parker, 1955 If I find peace of mind in the sand and the sea, There's a hope in my heart that you'll soon be with me, There's a prayer that I share with the sand and the sea, And it cries "Come to me, come to me." As my eyes search the skies from the edge of the shore, You are here in my arms for a moment or more, Then a tear rushes down to the sand and the sea, And it cries "Come to me, come to me." But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea, As long as there's time, I'll wait hopefully. As long as there's heaven up above, Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me. But as long as there's sand, as long as there's sea, As long as there's time, I'll wait hopefully. As long as there's heaven up above, Let the sand and the sea bring my love to me.
