further back at orient beach is unfortunately the road below la Plantation, at club O it is the bottom of the ring road, this land is owned by others...I don't want to call out the obvious, but nothing is made to withstand 10 feet of pounding water with waves. go to Eckerd College in St Pete and look at their marine sciences building construction, exactly the same height as club o or anything down there off the water, and tell me how expensive that is going to be BUT it would survive anything short of a Noah type event.....
