New Lifeguard Tower at Children’s Pool debuts

The $3-million nearly three-years-in-the making Lifeguard Station at Casa Beach (aka Children’s Pool) opened quietly this week, with lifeguards ready to move in by week’s end. On Monday, June 27 tourists seemed to be enjoying the amenities surrounding the pristine, state-of-the-art facility. The construction project was supposed to take eight months back in 2013, but faced myriad delays, ranging from issues with materials to a nesting seagull chick to inconsistent design plans.
