Description

This unusual view of Niles Beach appears to be taken from a protrusion of land in front of the Beachcroft Hotel. The unusual structure at the left edge is visible in pictures of the Beachcroft, and only a short stretch of beach is seen here before the granite outcroppins that mark the turn where Eastern Point Boulevard bends away from Farrington Avenue.
