The Pool at Atlantis Historic Inn

"The views are sweeping and you have a choice of one-bedroom suites in the original building, or apartments in a new wing by the small pool"

"Treacherous rip tides and waves make swimming in the sea a little risky, but walk up the coast to Bathsheba, where long stretches of undeveloped beach and natural rock pools await"

"On the other side of the pool is another historic two-story beachfront structure containing two self-contained, two-bedroom units, Cappernum Lower and Cappernum Upper, the latter preferred for its veranda furnished with rockers, overlooking the crashing surf"

"Hours later, our eyes open just in time for a scout around the pretty garden terrace and pool before dinner"

"Swimming at east-coast beaches is not advised due to high surf and dangerous undercurrents; however, it is safe to walk along the beach and wade in the natural tide pools"
