You can hear the ocean waves crashing on the beach at this fire lookout. This structure was built in the 1940s, a 60 foot Aermotor steel tower with 7 x7 foot metal cab. The tower is still present on the ground. There was also a small, rectangular wooden ground cabin that looks to be gone after the most recent timber harvest. Both were abandoned in 1962.
