SOUND BEACH 



A Real Sound Beach. 



What could be sounder than a beach 

 of rocks, and what could be more pic- 

 turesque? It is probable that many 

 people even in Sound Beach and its 

 vicinity do not realize the wonderful 

 rock-bound coast that we have in many 

 places, and at intervals long stretches 

 of smooth strand. Here is a marine 

 view as picturesque as any that can be 

 found in the world — a beach of solid 

 stone, a little bay, a slender rocky pen- 

 insula and a lighthouse in the distance, 

 all properly combined with passing 

 boats to suggest the charm of the great 

 ocean. If one were asked to point out 

 the most picturesque part of the beach 

 in Sound Beach, a selection would be 

 difficult ; all places are good, each in its 

 own way, but one that seems to be par- 



ticularly so has attracted the attention 

 of a camera. It is the shore frontage 

 owned by Mr. John Clark Udall, and 

 shows as a background the pleasing 

 seashore residence with concrete em- 

 bankment and the picturesque pier 

 owned by Mr. William C. Strange. 



We frequently receive inquiries from 

 friends at a distance, asking if we are 

 directly on the beach. No, ArcAdiA 

 is about a mile from the Sound, but the 

 beach is easily accessible by trolley 

 car, by good road and by plenty of room 

 for flying machines. We are just far 

 enough away to be secluded and yet to 

 have all the advantages of the beach. 

 Some day when ArcAdiA shall have 

 grown into the larger, ideal nature uni- 

 versity, we fancy that one of the at- 

 tractions that will then be advertised 





THE PICTURESQUE PIER AND MR. STRANGE'S RESIDENCE.
