Correction,it's one of islands ,but not the that is visible.you can make out where this bridge was today.it was burned down in 49.the pylons I have found in Topos maps of 1951,and I think Google Earth shows them

Visible in the photo or no, Hole in the Wall Island is a cool name!

Are there alternative routes to the islands since the one bridge burned down in 1949?

At the time of the fire it was one of three bridges.with the proximity to either bridge north or south.I never got why three when north of vero ,no more north of the bethel creek house there was no homes ,save a few on jungle trail,rt 252,and near winter beach road.

Oh, okay. Was wondering about that.

One lane bridge.with the other two allowing for traffic two move in either direction unless t
Boat traffic .the wabasso bridge was normally open to boat traffic.my fil said to cross you honked the horn and the tender would come out ,turn a crank and close the bridge.

 

[AirDancer]

That would be something to see.

With the way bridges are designed nowadays, that's typically not a problem.

Once a wooden bridge came here.its part of the quay,winter beach ghost town.the road is called old winter beach road.jungle trail not pictured is just around the bend as you leave this area.View attachment 7629

The house appears to be well-maintained...and the lawn manicured.

Any home near the country club will be.the cc golf course is tommorows route.it's one of the oldest golf courses in the county.only Riomar golf course is older.it's been said that theses two were owned by the same group.

 

[AirDancer]

I didn't know the house was located near a country club.

It's great when homeowners take care of their properties, near a country club or not.

Vbcc is short for vero beach country club.given this until the 70's or even early 90s had groves around it.it is a fitting name.the club house oddly was never part of the city and is just north of the limits. So about 4 holes are outside the limits.

I'll be some city fathers are currently upset that the club house & 4 holes weren't incorporated into the city for tax purposes!

Glad that annexation can be voted on .. that's a novel approach!
