Beach Icons:
Girls at the beach sunbathing, putting on lotions, and sitting in the sand by their surfboards are some icons of California's beloved beaches.
Beach icons are things that people associate or conjure images of when someone asks them to imagine a California beach.
Girls at the beach are one of the top icons for California beaches. Here we have a photo reminiscent of Gidget era youth with surfboards, waves and a relaxed, pleasant look and feel.

Girls at the Beach Icons
Some suggestions for capturing this particular icon could involve setting up a photo session with friends. You can pick the swimsuit colors, styles and props as you wish. Sky's the limit.
In a photo session I was paid to do at a horrible time (4th of July) at a busy Southern California beach where there is absolutely no parking available, I should have known better than to accept the job. It was to promote a new website. The concept was complicated (won't go into it here) and it really didn't translate like expected. So this photo was an out-take of that gig, which it took me nearly half a year to collect my pay from.
