As you head south on 109 passing the existing Pier 19 store the road would then veer to the right and run along the shore next to the existing beach before turning to the left and rejoining the existing road.
I believe the road was originally diverted to prevent swimmers crossing a busy roadway to go to the beach. Now, they no longer have to cross the street to reach the beach.
I can't remember the exact year this was done, but I would guess in the late 1970's.
