Maehlman v. Reuben Realty Co.

WILLIAMS. J

Where one maintains a bathing beach in his own interest and in furtherance of such interest invites the public thereto, the duty rests on him to exercise ordinary care for the safety of his patrons in maintaining such bathing beach. In this respect a bathing beach is like any other place of amusement or recreation to which the public is invited.
