Hi Carol,

The Boardwalk runs east and west, with the eastern end closest to the cruise ship terminal. Orient beach runs northwest to southeast, with Club O at the southeast end. Grand Case Blvd runs southwest to northeast, with Spiga at the northeast end.

So...when you are standing on the Boardwalk looking at the ocean you are facing south. When you are on Orient facing the water you are looking northeast. When you are in GC facing the water you are looking northwest.

Google Earth has a nice icon at the top of the page to rotate the image so that north is up on the page. <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
