Beach and Day Use District
Eighteen structures in the Beach and Day Use Historic District are contributing structures and are protected as historic places. These structures include seven "standard" pavilions with pyramidal roofs and timber supports, a larger picnic shelter with a log railing and supports and a roof similar to those of the "standard" pavilions, and three water pump shelters. The water pump shelters were built of native stone and covered with pebbles, and have since been converted to picnic pavilions. The concession building, bathhouse, and museum are also protected. The concession building is a rectangular log building with saddle corners and a gabled roof with a cross gabled entryway. The bathhouse is at the beach and was built with stone columns and a hip roof. The bathhouse walls consist of vertical wooden siding. The nature museum is a former stone and wood pavilion that is set into a dirt bank with stone walls. Four open pit latrines with wane edge siding and hipped roofs are also contributing structures to the Beach and Day Use Historic District. There are no non-contributing structures in the district.

Famous quotes containing the words beach, day and/or district:
“They will tell you tough stories of sharks all over the Cape, which I do not presume to doubt utterly,—how they will sometimes upset a boat, or tear it in pieces, to get at the man in it. I can easily believe in the undertow, but I have no doubt that one shark in a dozen years is enough to keep up the reputation of a beach a hundred miles long.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“Father who endest all,
Pity our broken sleep;
For we lie down with tears
And waken but to weep.”
—Cecil Day Lewis (1904–1972)
“Most works of art, like most wines, ought to be consumed in the district of their fabrication.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
