The ruins of Beeks Place are the remains of old stone buildings built in the 1930's by Joseph Beeks (who created the Balboa Island Ferry service in Newport Beach) to use as a weekend getaway. Located right along Main Divide road, it makes for a nice place to take a break and take in the views.

Beek's Place is actually old ruins of some stone structures from the 1930s. These ruins seem out of place up here with the cell towers.
