COOL BAREFOOTIN' ON SINGER ISLAND

From The Right-Side...

It has been said that it is easy to spot a 'Local Floridian' while dropping towel onto a sandy beach.

How?

It is also said, locals (of any age) always wear trendy and stylist (I added this part) sandals/flip-flops, while tourist-types frolic in the sand with their (totally unstylish, I assume) bare feet.

True?

I have no idea.

I know The Left-Side and I slide into footwear when we do a beach pop-in. Sand is HOT, okay?

Note the feet.

But, those hot-footed visitors to the suntanned sand of So-Flo have a treat awaiting them at the Marriott on Singer Island, Florida.

Why?

Because Marriott honchos (probably, because who else could make the call?) have decided to cool a sandy patch of beach with droplets of water just to keep toes all  damp and twinkly.

Walking to a comfy beach chair has never been cooler.

What a relief.

The Left-Side and I are semi-regulars at 3800 Ocean (the inside food/bar area) at the Big M on the Big SI, so this is excellent news.

Well, not for us so much, we really don't care about soggy sand for the non-locals.

Nah, The flooring in the bar is cool enough for us, and the drinks and food are divine.

Cheers to sandals or bare feet.. Whatever works.

Gotta dash...
