I think we can see a pillbox towards the eastern end of the beach in this Hedda Morrison Photo:

T, I think it was around a bit longer than that. On another photo, it noted that the Lido was built in 1935, before the pillbox. Also if you look at the full Hedda Morrison photo above, you can see the Lido to the right of the pillbox.

With reference to the provision of first aid at Repulse Bay Beach, the Director of Urban Services commented that on weekdays a first aid post is provided at the pillbox near the covered nullah adjacent to the Lido and manned by staff of the Urban Services. On weekends and public holidays, the service is provided by members of the St John Ambulance.
