1960s Scarborough Beach images by Colleen Burke

In the 60s pre-dune restoration Scarborough Beach had good sand banks and was a hive of activity with add-ons like the Scarborough Hotel session, the Snake Pit & Luna Park to name a few.

Colleen Burke surfed Metro and Down South beaches in the 60s. These Scarborough beach photos and media articles were sourced from her Photo Albums.
