John Martini (1/4/2021): "The rock causeway was built during original construction of the Baths. I read in Sutro’s engineer's reports that its purpose was to protect the boulders forming the breakwater on the west side of the Baths. The causeway was designed to hold the sand in place between Fisherman’s Rock and Point Lobos/Parallel Point and keep the boulders from being undermined." |
