Developed beach front with buildings in foreground, a wide sidewalk along the waterfront and a tall light tower with several rows of lights pointed towards the water.

This view from the Milneburg lighthouse shows the same area with the new amusement park and its WPA-built bathing beach, bath house under construction, and one of two light towers built by the WPA for night swimming.
