Only speaking for ourselves, of course, but we never wanted the Club O beach to be like the northern end. The beach and the Perch always had its own ambiance and vibe which is why people go there.

As for the Perch Lite, we enjoyed it during our June visit. Best ribs we had on island and we went back several times for more. Agree that its current presence serves a purpose and we were quite happy to patronize it -- and will again come November.
