Figure 9. Willard Beach in 1964 appears quite similar to 1956 with a large open expanse of sand and few dunes. In this photo the tide appears lower and thus the intertidal portion of beach is wider. On the lower beach profile, structures associated with pipe outfalls can be seen. The large building at the end of Franklin Street (with a t-shaped roof) was removed in 1967 and a smaller structure built in 1976 sits in its place surrounded by open sand. A rock breakwater (arrow) now extends from the bedrock headland at the southern end of the cove. Boats can be seen moored in the cove. (MGS file photo ENM-2EE-217 or 218, May 2, 1964)
