The remains of the semi-circular pool wall can just be made out at low tide. The pool was built in 1923 and survived for thirty years until the great storm of 1953 which caused widespread damage along the east coast. The breakwater (seen in the distance) was overwhelmed causing such damage to the pool that it was irreparable.
