Beach Club

Beach Club
Doubling as a neighborhood meeting hall, the Beach Club, designed by noted architect Thomas Christ, is a two-story, barn-like structure surrounded by deep front and back porches like they made them in the old days. Tongue-and-groove cypress flooring, whitewashed cypress walls and bead-board wainscoting enhance the beach cottage feeling of the interior, as do the oversized, louvered, breeze-capturing doors. Recalling a bath house at summer camp, the dressing areas are equipped with showers and wooden lockers and benches. The community kitchen makes this a perfect spot for receptions, celebrations and get-togethers.
Most delightful of all is the pool, a new take in neighborhood pools. More like a swimming hole, it is missing only a rope swing slung from a tree. Where one would expect the usual rectangular pool surrounded by vertical gates and rows of lounge chairs, here is a virtual man-made lake, a free form pond amid the dunes with a disappearing edge at the beachside entrance. The decking that curves around the pool is a mixture of beach sand, bits of shell and white concrete that looks like rippled sand by the ocean's edge. Landscaped dunes dressed in beach sunflowers, Indian blanket, palms and other beach natives surround the pool. Even the aluminum pool fence refuses to act out of character, but is disguised as an aging wood slat dune fence following the contours of the land.
