during our visit too Orient Beach 3-9 to 3-23 the erosion was very noticeable. our first few days were very windy with heavy down pours, we usually sit in the yel. chairs between the Perch and Pedro's, usually there's 2 or 3 rows, this year there was only one row when we arrived but after 3 days the chairs we had been sitting in had fallen in the water, so we had too move to the other side of the Perch for the rest of our vacation. If this continues at this rate the Perch will be in the water. How is it now, is it any better? They did open up the area above but we enjoy being right in front of the water, in doing this they removed the Club O sign, I hope they put it back up in a different location, because a lot of tourist like to take pictures in front of it.
