You didn't really "learn" anything. All you heard was what a presenter "thought" was going on in SoWal restrooms. I agree about where the soiree should be held if they get built. I'll have a parking space for sure.

I thought the restrooms were locked at night - to make it difficult to use them as housing or illicit rendezvous spots. 
Sounds like they are stretching to find more reasons for NIMBY! :roll:

No they are not locked at night.

The way I understood it was... The lady who wrote the letter that was being read felt that the design and specifically the breezeway would attract homeless, drug using, pervert, loiterers. Sara Commander asked Mr. Mase (sp?) of the TDC if he was aware of these sorts of problems at other similiar public facilities. He was not aware of any such problems. As far as I know, Senator Craig does not live in Walton County.

Then why have I had to pee in the bushes next to a locked Sowal public restroom before?

I think that is the real concern of those opposed.If you build it they will come.

Scooterbug is correct, they are locked at night. I have been at the Blue Mtn access many late afternoons when the TDC comes around to lock them. So, no homeless sleepovers. As to sexual activity - :roll: I seriously doubt there is much of that. If you spend any time at any of the accesses that have restrooms, you will see they are quite busy, being used for their intended purpose. And even if there is the occasional misuse, this is no reason to not build them. Public toilets are civilized, FTLOG.
I can't believe someone made this argument against them.
Oh, and it was not Inlet Beach that was once a nude beach. It was Camp Creek, what is now WaterSound, due to the large dunes, many of which are gone since all the hurricanes, and it's formerly relatively remote location.

For many years, they were locked at night. Apparently, sometime about a month ago, the policy was thankfully changed. If the beach is open, so should be the restrooms for the beach users.

Thanks, SJ. I did not know. So Scootie and I won't need to use the bushes, that's good. I'll be sure to boot out any homeless I find. :roll:
