Yikes! Look at the sand cliffs. My BSV experiences are very limited but I've never seen that before along Simpson Bay anywhere. Often seen and taller at Mullet but not usually at BSV. Soon...... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Joy.gif" alt="" />

I think that awning when opened would provide shade out into the sand if you wanted to sit in the lounge chairs there and be shaded from the sun. There must be some reason it was installed there.If you just want to sit up on the deck, I agree it is not needed to do that.

Isn't that the only privately owned unit there?
As I remember our limited stay at BSV, the sun is very intense almost all day from morning to evening - heaven help those who skimp on their sunblock!! So I can see why the awning might be advantageous, but for conformity sake.....? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />

Yes, that is the privately owned unit. I don't have any personal knowledge of it, but I can't imagine that Drew and Tracy are terribly excited to have it there, as it does definitely stick out as different from the rest of the units. It must be for shade on the actual beach, as Elizabeth said, as you don't need it to shade the deck.
