In December 2008 the Town voted to restore the pylon, a concrete structure built in 1935, at a cost of $172,000. Decades of battering by the ocean has eroded the pylon, which was one of three pylons built to anchor a shark net following a fatal attack in 1925.
The Town decided to repair the pylon, built in 1935, that had been damaged by decades of ocean erosion and was one of three pylons constructed to support a shark net following a fatal attack in 1925.
