The Breakwater

Transportation
The Cormaria Retreat House was built by Frank C. Havens as his summer home. In 1902, Havens secured funds from the U.S. Congress to build the Breakwater. Replaced in 2003, the Breakwater continues to protect the harbor from northeast storms. In 1924, Havens' widow donated waterfront to the east, Havens Beach, as a memorial to her husband.
