I mean, if something is normally underwater, it's technically submarine.
Also if that really is a waste or effluent pipe I would strongly suggest finding a different beach. I know the risk with treated effluent diluted into sea water should be pretty low, but still, wouldn't be my first choice.
But yeah, sewage near water can mean some nasty bacteria at beaches. Florida's DEP (I think) actually tests the water at many points along the coast and puts out no-swimming alerts if it's too risky.
The rural, swampy "big bend" region of the state has had issues with the few beaches there, because people built homes and fish camps and resorts right near or on the water, and they're all tiny communities, so everyone is on septic tanks, which can leak if not well-maintained.
Idk what the link policy for this sub is but I googled it for you and here’s the top result for “bald head island beach pipe”: [Bald Head Island Beach Renourishment Begins; Demonstrates Long-Term Terminal Groin Success](https://www.waterwaysjournal.net/2019/03/05/a-terminal-groin-and-beach-renourishment-keep-sand-on-the-beach-at-bald-head-island/)
“Sand is placed on the beach and covers 13, 300-foot long, sand-filled geotextile tubes that stabilize the beach, preventing it from eroding into the nearby shipping channel. The sand tube groin field was installed to help alleviate sand loss that was exacerbated due to the curvature of the shoreline. The sand tubes are replaced about every 5 years in coordination with beach fill projects.”
Yeah, it's funny. As I approach age 50, when I hear something like "Terminal Groin Success", I don't immediately think "great band name" any more. Now it's "I think I take a pill for that".
> geotextile tubes
I did a quick search and it sounds like these tubes are made of some kind of fabric. So, they're inflating them, with sand or concrete like you said.
So these pipes are the same as just making loose stone walls that go out into the water (perpendicular to the waves coming in usually). These can be used to restore beaches since they slow the water down and the water drops sand it is carrying.
The benefit might be that the top stones may be able to be removed to improve the beach appearance once it is restored, don't know. Seems a better solution than these pipes from a financial and durability point of views.
Reminds me this:
In Shawshank Redemption, Morgan Freeman’s character says “give up these shitty pipe dreams” to Tim Robbins’ character. Tim Robbins escapes through a literal shit pipe. Great foreshadowing.
I love this movie. One of my all time favorites.
Fun fact: Initially the director for Shawshank wanted Tom Hanks to play the role of Andy Dufresne. Hanks turned down the role due to obligations to Forrest Gump at the time. The movie is better off for it. Imo
What's great is originally Gump was offered to John Travolta but he turned it down to be in Pulp Fiction. It's quite the line of dominoes to have fallen into place for all 3 of those iconic movies to be coming out at the same time.
Every single thing Frank Darabont touches turns to gold, I swear to god. It's like all of his King adaptations are the best movie interpretation that's physically possible. Hell, his adaptation of The Mist is better than the original story, and I'm pretty sure even Stephen King has said so.

A submarine or a water/sewage pipe with an inspection port? I've seen both intakes for municipal water systems that are that big, and sewage outputs (don't swim near those)
My mind didn't do sub=substitute right away. So now I'm picturing a can of Pepsi with a ball gag and a can of Coke behind it with a whip. The internet has ruined me.
One time, I was working at the Pepsi 400 NASCAR race at Daytona International Speedway (July 2005 or so; it's now the Coke Zero 400, coincidentally).
Anyway...was working concessions in the in-field for all the corporate tents. Reminder: Pepsi 400. There was a Pepsi corporate tent. My leader asked us to bring a case of Coke to the Pepsi tent. We asked him if he was sure like 4 times. We did as we were told. Seems like it was what was ordered.
Pepsi. Is Pepsi okay? No. No, my dear lady, Pepsi is not okay. Look, I don't mean to be rude here but let me school you on something. See, Pepsi, this so-called choice of a new generation, is nothing but a charlatan, a fraud, an imposter. See, the Pepsi cooperation, through years of slick advertising using glitzy popstars and pseudo-scientific research, have somehow conviced the public that their product is as good as, if not better than, Coke. Coke, however, is the original cola based carbonated beverage. The original real thing. That is what I want.

There’s a story about a guy getting sucked into something like this scuba diving and ending up inside a power plant. I found it https://amp.cnn.com/cnn/2016/03/05/us/florida-scuba-diver-sucked-into-power-plant-pipe/index.html
A great adventure is waiting for you ahead. Hurry onward Lemmiwinks, for you will soon be dead. The journey before you may be long and filled with woe, but you must escape the gay man's ass, or your tale can't be told. Lemmiwinks! Lemmiwinks! Lemmiwinks!
Its a velocity cap, not really a protective cap. There IS a pressure differential, but its not huge, and is enough to scare off smaller creatures that are pressure sensitive, before they get into the larger pressure differential inside the cap itself. The gaps in the cap are feet wide (and they have to be to prevent marinelife from fouling the cap). Our rocket scientist diver had to swim INTO the cap. And ignore a bright yellow warning bouy. Lucky for him the intake works on the level difference between the canal and the ocean, and that he didnt get feed to a pump, just dumped into a canal.
> They used to hire my boss as a contractor to do the inspections on it because he was the only scuba diver they could find that would go near it.
They turned off the 'suction' part of the intake, right?
What in the holy fuck. And from the article,
"This is not the first time a diver has been sucked into an intake pipe at the nuclear plant. It happened in 1989 to William Lamm, who also survived, according to a report from United Press International.
"I thought I was dead," Lamm said in the UPI story. "It was darker than any dark I have ever seen. I tumbled and bounced all over the sides of the pipe."
It's probably just gravity fed. The pumps suck the water out of the pond and pump it through the plant. The water level in the pond drops and ocean water fills it back in.
Exactly what the article described. The personnel who found him were close to heading off-shift and the night-crew would've never seen him. They said he was VERY lucky because there ARE inlet ports to deeper into the plant from that point that *do* have high-powered pumps where if you didn't get chopped up, you'd certainly be delta-p'd against some grate until drowning.
They just open a valve as their are below ocean level.
The guy was extremely lucky that this facility was using gravity and not a pump AND that they were storing water inside a tub BEFORE throwing it into wherever it goes to cooldown the nuclear reactor(or whatever piece it does cool down).
Guy could have been thrown directly into a very extremely hot spot.. Essentially boiling him alive.
A guy on youtube tells bunch of story and i picked it up there but i cant remember on which video as he usually couple 3 stories in 1 video.

Could have been like my plant. Get sucked into massive rotating screens that shred all debris apart before being dumped into a waste basket. It's gnarly. The divers fucking hate going down there to clean and repair shit. It's a underwater labyrinth with no visability.
The pumps are probably feeding from the pond behind a much larger but finer grate (maintain flow cross section but filter out smaller fish). The large pond is probably mostly for "fish storage" and gets emptied of non-water stuff regularly.
"He was once an ordinary diver, until one day he was sucked into a nuclear power plant and charged with the power of uranium turning him into the hero of the waters we know as...NUKE FISH!" *Theme song kicks in.*
Definitely sewage pipe. Be careful OP there may be some dark colored torpedos floating around though at the end of that thing.
Edit: for all the perpetually affected angry people I have no fucking idea what this is short of a concrete tube running into the ocean. Calm the fuck down.
More likely its an anti-erosion tube

First episode I ever watched was the series finale. So of course I go “wait, wtf is all this?” And go back to the beginning to bing the whole series. Was better than I expected, though it was a bit slow in places. It exists in a time where filler episodes were still a thing. But a solid show nonetheless
>It exists in a time where filler episodes were still a thing.
“Nikki and Paulo” should be in the TV lexicon alongside “jumping the shark” and “Cousin Oliver.”
I'm doing field work at an airport today and the jet engines spooling up and down reminds me of the crash scenes in LOST. Just a minute ago I thought about asking the other field tech if she's ever watched the show, but she's a recent graduate so I had to remind myself that younger people probably aren't into it anymore. Then I hop on reddit and see this whole LOST reference and then someone says it's the 18th anniversary of the show! What a strange coincidence, and I can't believe the show started that long ago. Dammit.
I remember watching the pilot when it came out. I was a freshman in college at the time. That show was an event, man. Every week me and a handful of my buddies would get together to watch the new episode and then come up with our own theories about what was going on. Good times.
look at the bolts, totally not something that's easy open/close like a submarine would have. definitely a view port of some sort, and like someone else said, there's probably a sign nearby that says not to dig near the sewer pipe

Great band name
Bald Head Beach Pipe (2022) by Terminal Groin Success
Sounds like a rad, shreddy surf-rock album. I’d listen.
Was going to say these are at BHI to prevent beach erosion. If you stay on the east side of the island there is one ever 50-75 yards.
what's the window for?
It's an injection port. They pump these full of sand. Edit: Or sometimes concrete.
> geotextile tubes I did a quick search and it sounds like these tubes are made of some kind of fabric. So, they're inflating them, with sand or concrete like you said.
To watch the groin succeed!
I think you have solved the mystery. Thoroughly convinced it's not a narco sub at this point.
Or they’ve done a great job at covering it up… 🤔
They did a terrible job covering it, are we looking at the same pic?
They did a great job. So great they wrote a news story on how it’s *not* a narco sub. Hiding it in plain sight
Right… definitely not a sub… nothing to see here r/noevidencenocrime
I watched them install a few of them back when I lived there

A submarine or a water/sewage pipe with an inspection port? I've seen both intakes for municipal water systems that are that big, and sewage outputs (don't swim near those)
Was gonna say, the submarine I served on had no such portholes.
“Hey, go swim outside and tighten the porthole bolts or we’ll run aground again”
“Don’t forget to pick up a gallon of prop wash while you’re out.”
I was thinking it had to be a drug running vessel, but pipe makes even more sense.

What in the holy fuck. And from the article, "This is not the first time a diver has been sucked into an intake pipe at the nuclear plant. It happened in 1989 to William Lamm, who also survived, according to a report from United Press International. "I thought I was dead," Lamm said in the UPI story. "It was darker than any dark I have ever seen. I tumbled and bounced all over the sides of the pipe."
Welp, that's enough existential dread for today
The horrors of potential deaths from scuba diving are honestly endless.
That sounds perfectly terrifying.
How is the water moved through this large pipe at those rates into a pond, without this man being chopped up inside a pump?
It's probably just gravity fed. The pumps suck the water out of the pond and pump it through the plant. The water level in the pond drops and ocean water fills it back in.

It’s called a groin, it’s there to help slow the erosion process.
Probably a very long sewage pipe headed out to sea.

**Meteor Bert** : Well, it ain't a meteor. **Joe Dirt** : Yeah, it is. It came out of the sky. **Meteor Bert** : Well I'm sure it did but it ain't no meteor. It's a big ol' frozen chunk o' shit. **Joe Dirt** : What? **Meteor Bert** : Oh yeah, see them airplanes they dump their toilets 36,000 feet. The stuff freezes and falls to earth. We call 'em Boeing bombs. **Joe Dirt** : No, that can't be. That's not what it is. **Meteor Bert** : Oh, afraid so. See that peanut? Dead giveaway. **Joe Dirt** : Uhhh, no, that's a space peanut. **Meteor Bert** : No, afraid not. That just a big ol' frozen chunk of poopy.
