Hi Jim.....no it's the Ponce De Leon inlet, located about a 15 minute walk from me.

This pic is a construction photo when the Army Corp of Engineers put in the 2 jetties back in the 60's.

The section in the photo has been covered up by sand for years and years as the currents shifted in response to the jetties. Here's a more modern perspective.....



Over the years there have been multiple dredging operations to open up the channel and things can get real squirrely...and not in a good way....you just can't screw with Mother Ocean you know.....

Woah, that Splinter exterior looks nice. The interior ... not so much!

Yes, but it had a genuine wood rim steering wheel.
Seriously the guy has skills and not a bad eye.
I wonder if the thing sticking out of the dash is the gear shift?
