On a nice beautiful day, this is a nice park/beach to go to. Located just a few steps from the busy streets of shops. You can get lunch and then head down and enjoy the nice breeze and sunny sands beside the boardwalk. Sands are nice and soft. City staff do a great job maintaining the areas. If you prefer to stroll, there's the Martin Goodman trail just beside it.
I have been passing the station on all sides, but last time in January I stopped. I become fully aware of something as a fact, that this structure was standing here for over hundred years with winds blowing, sun scorching, sand grains crashing, water flooding, bugs eating and overtime decay.
Clearly stands out, not only as a building on the empty beach, or as monument for local people, history of the neighbourhood, but above all, as a reminder of women and men who saved thousands of lives. In my mind, it is the east-end gateway into memories, ingrained icon, illuminating beacon for the living. Stop by, worth the effort.
Walked the beach and board walk today and so many people passing by the lifeguard station. Perfect day for a walk and no wind, temps great for January. Over the Friday that just passed and waves 4 to 5 feet high. I've never ever seen that in all the years I have spent on this beach.
It was a good day to be out. Sun, some clouds. No wind. Perfect day to be out
Beautiful place to walk for all. The lake has many waves today and people are out kite surfing. Enjoy the outdoors before winter comes.
