Other things to consider:
- What is on the other side of the beach? Is it a causeway (like Dunedin), parking lot? private residnces/condos? If it's private residences, you'll need to go to those owners and get their blessings. I know how that sounds, but if you try to do something like this in front of their homes and they bitch to City Hall, you'll find yourself out in the cold really quick.
-Are there turtle populations in the area? If so, the turtle people will probably object. Same with the bird people.
I know that I sound like a nay-sayer, but again, this is what I do for a living, and I have seen some really great ideas get shot down for some really silly reasons brought up by 1 or 2 people!
I'm trying not to get too excited but most of those concerns are not valid. When all is said there are two locations here that are nearly perfect for small sail boats. I believe both are world class.
Currently, they are both permitted for catamaran use (there is concern about the trailers, my effort is to prevent revocation of access.) You should come down and take a look. I'll buy beer!
