Note the building in background - I think the Highland Park Water Works - the public beach is to the left, NSYC to the right. They traded places c[irca] 1960.
Pot at rear had a spigot for pouring cupfuls of clam juice (this was weird stuff to a ten-year-old from the midwest). Note also the metal mats in the background, laid on the sand to aid the movement of the boats to and from the water.
