Description
The aging lifeguard tower at Main Beach may be the most photographed public building in Laguna Beach.
Both quaint and functional, the hexagon-shaped structure is one of this community's treasures, residents say.
The landmark was once part of a gas station at Broadway and Coast Highway. In the 1920s, horse power was used to move the structure to the beach, Dwinell said. Until the new lifeguard center was built at the north end of Main Beach in 1985, the 400-square-foot tower was the headquarters for all lifeguard activity, he said.
