Technically YES, you can certainly bring your own umbrella and use their chairs, but as others have said, most likely they won't let you use it in the front row. But, as others have said, if it is very windy, using your own umbrella possibly will not work. One, an umbrella you bring is not going to be nearly as steady as the Club O ones, and Two, it is a big danger, with it flying away. I have seen a couple of them go flying one time, there, and one time at Karakter and both times it was a very scary experience, as that umbrella pole could be a lethal projectile. I am WITH you on having to have shade though, as I usually burn, even with lotion on, and under the umbrella. I'm not sure what all natural shade there is right now, as haven't been at Club O beach post Gonzalo, but there used to be some shrubby trees just beside the Perch, and I have often hung out there for the shade value when the guys wouldn't let you put up the umbrellas. That, plus bring a big hat, a coverup and lots of sun block, to use if necessary.

If it is windy enough that Club O has their umbrellas down I'm pretty sure they would make you put yours down as well. A flying umbrella is definitely dangerous and I believe Club O has had to deal with law suits when people were hurt by a flying umbrella.

OK, glad to hear the trees are still there, they do provide some shade.. Although they do seem to accumulate a lot of bugs of some nature! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Mad.gif" alt="" /> But for people like me that need shade about the only port in the storm! If it's really windy and sand blasting, it's not very comfortable out there even with a umbrella, so I'm not out there long anyway.
