A photo shared by the National Archives of Malta depicts quite the picturesque scene in Gozo.

Taken quite a number of decades ago, the shot shows what a typical summer beach day consisted of at Ramla l-Hamra Bay in Gozo.

They used to set up tents to create the ideal amount of shade, even though the sun's rays weren't as potent back then. A number of carts can even be spotted across the beach. Perhaps they took their horses for a swim?

The photo is part of the Guido Stilton Collection and was shared as part of the 35th anniversary celebrations of the Gozo Archive.

Can you remember what your beach days looked like as a child?
