Yea. I remember the times when I could relax more on vacation at the beach. That was before condos like Sugar Dunes, Commadore, and especially Beachside Villas. Some of the new developments now are at least built back and not put up with shady or illegal methods (another story we don't have time for here). SoWal beaches are still the best in the world. Miles of beach park area, good developments, etc. There are lots of opportunities to relax and get away from the situations that are not as good as they could be. There are some county parks that should be first on the list for lifeguards and public bathrooms. For instance, plenty of space and public parking available near Dunes of Seagrove for a bathroom and lifeguard. (which by the way destroyed most of the dunes around their development and it isn't Seagrove, but that too is another story.)
Well stated!
