Description |
Shoreline - In the 1940's, Marion's public bathing amenities were relatively sparse. This view shows the main beach to the nor of Island Wharf in the Village Center. At low tide, the near raft floated in water only waist deep, but the further raft was anchored deep enough for divingfrom the platform or taking the slide down. The only other public beaches were a tiny stretch of sand at Old Landing (now a boat ramp) and a small, rocky beach at Silvershell at the end of Front Street, where one could dive off the end of the pier at high tide-if no one was fishing there. |
