[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Pp who mentioned it being like Myrtle or wildwood. I was just trying to give a sense of the vibe.

We were walking along the Main Street of “attractions” and restaurants near the Sandpearl, and although some were nice, there was a huge Hooters, and a ton of tshirts selling political maga sayings and Let’s Go Brandon/ gulf of America type sayings in the windows. Most were pretty vulgar.

I would’ve been happy to forget about politics during the trip but it was definitely on display.

I’m not a pearl-clutching liberal in a Washington bubble, my kid goes to an SEC school in the south and we’ve seen it all before. It just wasn’t where I want to go back to on vacation. I thought you might want one person’s review. It’s fine if others don’t agree and it sounds charming to them. [/quote]

I went to the Sandpearl on a DCUM rec. we stayed at the north end and only passed that hooters twice. Once to go to the marina and once to go to tampa. The northern end was not tacky like that. Clear sky cafe was great. Loved sunset at Palm pavilion and frenchys. I didn’t see any hurricane damage. We did walk the beach down toward the Hilton and let’s say the clientele looked a less refined than up toward the Sandpearl. It was like its own little oasis. Movies at the pool at night. S’mores on the beach. It was lovely. The pool chair situation was a pain, but honestly, where isn’t it when you are only paying $1000 a night? [/quote]
