Thanks for the update - it's pretty much what we experienced when we were last there
However, several times we did see the chair guys telling people not to take photos, in case they couldn't read. There was also the normal amount of self-enforcement.
I believe Perch Lite is now Perch Bar & Grill, at least that's what their sign reads.
I'm in agreement with your biggest concern. A large hotel and/or restaurant chain would love this valuable location.
Of course, one more shout-out to Cedrick, his crew, and the Perch staff for once again making the beach as enjoyable as ever. We'll be there in 86 days.

I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.
