for many years (c. 1960s) there was, opposite the lighthouse, a drive-in roadhouse named "the doll house", where white people used to go for a snack and coffee during the day, or after a movie at night, which was served on a tray clipped to the window of the vehicle. the local seagulls became wise to this smorgasbord and many a patron lost his or her sandwich to a robber gull that had landed on the roof of the car.
