No, but it still looks like a spar buoy.

The original barber pole was always on the mainland. Was there ever a barber shop there?
It was not unusual to find Idylewild councilors making the swim to the mainland at this point to escape the camp for their day off or an evening in town! Let's hope no one ever tries to put a bridge there - that would forever ruin the island experience for those that choose to summer there - and one or two that live there full time.
