You are looking for a regular-sized container at Denning's Point. Watch for poison ivy.

In the 1920s and 30s the beach at Denning's Point was a popular place to be, thanks to the trustees' policy of allowing public use of Denning's Point for recreation. No doubt some of the reason was the sandy shoreline, created by the brickyard workers who mined sand from various parts of the point and spread it along the western shore.  "Summer for Beacon residents of all ages officially began when the Denning's Point concessions, bathhouses, and dance pavillion open for the season."
