I wouldn't say there is plenty of sand in front of the Perch. We just got back last week and there is room for one row of chairs from the Pedro's area to 100 feet south of the Perch. On high tide the water comes within 10 feet of the steps leading up to the Perch. Every week the Club O tractor dumps a scoop of sand leading up to the steps. The one drawback I found this year was the erosion has caused the rocks normally covered with sand while walking out into the water to now be uncovered when you get about waist high in the water.
