There is a woman in a bathing suit on a beach who is facing a lifeguard sitting on top of a watch tower. Next to them is another tower which is higher still and reaches up into the clouds.
It is unusual for such a high tower to be on a public beach.
What purpose does the high tower have?
He's the lifeguard during high tide.

A humorous explanation for why a life guard would need to be on a tower that tall; the tides on this beach apparently fluctuate unrealistically significantly, i.e., by tens of feet. While such an extreme tide change would be dangerous, in this odd beach/town, they still find it reasonable to have a life guard who oversees leisure activities even at high tide, which is a funny set of priorities.
