The Story Of The Shark Pit
The Shark Pit was a huge pier built over a large body of salt water from the late 1800's to the early 1930's. It had games of chance, snack bar, boats, fishing, crabbing.... It also had a large beach area where people would picnic & swim. It all got knocked in the water a few times over the years from bad storms & rebuilt each time. Some time in the early 1930's it got hit real bad by a storm, but because of the hard times back then (the Great Depression era) it never got rebuilt. The beach & picnic area stayed open for many more years. The land was eventually sold and is now all private property. I was told about this place from some friends who have been metal detecting it for years. They/we have a good relationship with the current land owners & are allowed to park on the property and walk down to the water. My friends have sworn me to secrecy about the location of this place because of the property owners & other reasons. I would never want to break this trust they have in me. So the location of The Shark Pit must remain secret.
