Jaycee Beach is one of my favorite local spots: nice boardwalk, great little breakfast/lunch joint, and gorgeous scenery, near and far. 🙂
I took this picture from the stairway near the guardshack. At the far end of the shot, note The Village Spires, the only 12 story buildings in a city where “Sunrises not High Rises” is a hotly debated tourism slogan. (To see the photo in greater detail, check out the header.)
Just for fun, I’m including a short video, filmed from the opposite perspective: Far is the new Near! 😉 It starts just before The Spires, ends at the stairway, and in-between you get a little tour of the shops and Ocean Drive.
Enjoy!!
Until next time……
🙂 🙂

small house/BIG GARDEN 
This is very cool way to use the Near and Far theme of this week. Well done!
Thank you! I’m happy you found my blog! 🙂
These are great shots and so sunny too. Thank you for the pingback will return the blog love soon… Snail pace continues. 😆
I used to think the “Sunshine State” phrase on FL license plates was silly…..like how sunny could it be? Then I moved here and understood…Relentless! Not that it doesn’t rain…it pours…but never more than an hour or so, and then it’s back to sunny, which for me means the garden or beach. 🙂
Re: your snail pace comment…I see you’ve been busy commenting on my other posts, too…looks like you’re all caught up!
Yeah, one day at a time… Sadly, I am only human and some feel slighted that I haven’t jumped to read everything! TY for your patience. 😉
Very cool! We may have to check out Vero Beach when we head to Venice! Nice photo and drive for the challenge.
Thank you!
You’re almost directly opposite us on the other coast! For some reason, I thought Venice was between Marco Island and Naples….guess I need to bone up on my geography! 😉
loved the image and the video…such a cool place
Thank you, Jo!
Whenever I read posts about where you live I get the sense it “feels” alot like Vero Beach does—not commercial and striving to stay small.
True…though the changes are hard to hold off. At Waihi Beach [20 minutes from my house] it is frightening what is happening. This gorgeous little beach community now boasts mansions along the foreshore worth millions. it is losing all that made it perfect as Aucklanders come down and build the million dollar ‘holiday homes’ that stand empty most of the year. I hate it.
Wow!! I like the way you have connected your picture with the title. Its wonderful!! Loved your pictures 🙂 Thanks a checking out my blog and following me 🙂 Love!!
you’re welcome!!!
and thank you so much for the nice comment!! 🙂
How beautiful beach. I love boardwalks and this one seems to be so great. I cannot wait for summer after seeing Your photos, although fall is creeping slowly now.
