A little rail cart on a winch would work quite nicely.

As usual, the answer to the transportation problem is a train.

I'd say it's 5 minutes going to the beach, but 20 minutes coming back home

Fyi that's Jamestown on the island of Saint Helena

Fun fact: This is why landings are required at certain distances.

My irrational fear of heights would cause me paralysis on these stairs. It happened in a train station that had plexiglass walls around the stairs. It felt too open and I crouched uncontrollable fear as my partner tried to console me.

8 seconds in freefall from 1000ft. Longer if you hit solid things on the way rolling down.

Fun fact, there is a stairway like this but so much more run down near me. It's known locally as the Jacob's Ladder, it's under the Forth Rail Bridge and it's actually terrifying but it's the quickest way between the station and the Pier.

5 minutes there, 45 minutes back.

Imagine how fun it would be to rig up a luge sled with little rings to go over the railings. The hardest part would be designing brakes that would work effectively, but assumjng you could figure that out, (or i guess even if you couldnt) that first 6 seconds would be fun as hell.

Just bluntslide your way down it!

Add a slide

I bet this would be sick when it's icy if you have a big sled to go down it

I don't see the beach
