lifeguard tower
Coastal watch post
A lifeguard tower is an elevated structure on a beach or at a pool, giving lifeguards a vantage point to monitor swimmers and spot distress.
Typically a small platform or enclosed booth on stilts, it serves as both observation post and command center for water rescues: The red flag flying from the lifeguard tower warned of dangerous currents.
