No dispute with Loggerhead. I just find most all to be offensive to my sensibility of what quality and Florida used to be, and a poster child of what "New Florida" has become. All exactly why I just moved north of Fort Pierce where Old Florida still exists under our grand oaks dripping Spanish moss, where boiled peanuts are sold at every gas station.
Now up the road is yet another Loggerhead in more "new Florida" (only damn yankees could suffer that "cute" urban sprawl camouflaged with tile roofs!) Jupiter one is even worse! Suburbia on steroids. If I had to put a good spin on them, it would be that; I reckon that there's a huge population of lonely rich divorcees and widows within only a couple hundred feet of your boat. Probably lots of Lexus SCs to borrow and Schnauzers to walk? That's all I can come up with in the win column. Of course, you're likely next.
beware the hunter being hunted.
I just happen to remember what the one in Hallandale/Hollywood looked like before they surrounded it with all those cookie cutter homes, and built that idiotic guard gate which does nothing but slow (plus all the speed bumps, for what a mile?) you down by having to speak to rent a cop's. They're going to let you in anyway, so why the horseshit with questions? Its not like you can't come and go from two directions by boat all day or night without having to talk to minimum wage employees in uniforms with all the power of a clicker.
"Security" like that just aggravates honest people, the thieves come in by boat, OR with straw hats with leaf blowers, or get jobs as security guards so they have the keys. There's NO view from there, other than old highrises on the beach. I guess if you love the sound of gas powered lawnmowers and leaf blowers it's perfect.. LONG walk out of there to what-a Walmart? Cmon, nothing quality about that place at all. Long ride down the ditch in both directions to either inlet. Since it's in a "hole" there's not much in fresh air in there when somebody fires up their old GMs and Cats.
Going by tender to Le Tub is only good thing it has going. US I due west looks like a great place to score a whore or crack. When Tim Dorsey uses Motels there as location for his novels, you know you've found a "interesting" neighborhood. Traffic on Hallandale Beach Blvd? Gridlock in season.Take Pembroke to the I, and your in serious ghetto.
At least Marina Bay is relatively wide open to the north, full of big beautiful yachts, has an outdoor restaurant on the premises, a great boatyard om premises, and half a dozen more within a half mile. Even more restaurants just across the street, amd Lil Reds less than a half mile to the east. The I and the Turnpike are close too, plus fresh water.
MIAMI is where the quality boating/vacation experiences are located. Any further questions? I hate Broward County, can you tell? Just a second rate suburb of Miami. Lol
