Mathison Hammock in the 1950s
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 3/25/08
Mathison Hammock was our favorite beach in Miami in the 1950s because it had a safe place to swim, a convenient bathhouse, and cold drinks available. I learned to swim at Mathison Hammock in 1947 at age 4, and spent many fun hours there throughout my school years. Unfortunately, I now live in Oregon, and only get back to Naples occasionally.
