This is a great view of the point from Hatchetts Point. Anybody growing up at the point can remember trying to conquer the rocks at low tide and make it around to the next beach. Mailed in 1955 from New Haven, Ct. It was published by a different company called Dormand Postcards, Long Island. On the back it states "Point O'Woods Beach, South Lyme, Conn. looking across at the "point o'woods".   Colors are very vivid on this chrome.  There is some corner wear.  Shows cottages on the beach clearly before hurricane.
