Mission Beach Memorial Day 1984

As always, people were drawn to the beaches--80,000 in 1984. A long line of cars were on the way to join the crowds soaking up the sun. Lifeguards had their hands full with rescues and people drinking alcohol - which was allowed back then. News 8's Lorraine Kimel talked to a young girl who liked to watch the guys - some things never change!
