Rock Causeway
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." |

"The original causeway stared to deteriorate in
the late 1890s, and by the 1910s was a total ruin." |
