Break from winter? Conch Chowder anyone!?

Life doesn't get better than hanging out at High Tides Snack Jack on A1A in Flagler Beach.  We used to grab a beer and a bowl of chowder at this funky beach bar, (that was probably built in the early sixties) after a day of sun and surf.  All that black in the background is the Atlantic and the place sits on stilts about twenty yards from the beach.  The walls are nothing but screens and you could see people crusing down the beach through the gaps in the floor boards.

I had a shoot down in Orlando about a year ago and did the hour drive over to the place to grab dinner.  One of the few authentic places on the planet in a world of prepackaged monotony!
