Ahh, the once mighty marineland, now all but falling apart - still a very good dive location (when the water is clear, excellent marine biodiversity) and it has a very cool fault created cave too( for you geology buffs)

which graced the entrance to the still standing (available for Weddings & receptions - but no longer looks like this) Marineland Restaurant..

You better head on down to say your goodbyes soon, because donald trump bought the property and is going to build a golfing resort there. Construction has already started on the construction offices. I don't know how much longer the restaurant will stand, or the very cool former marineland sign post.

and ona side note... this was also the location of te "new york" dock scene in Hidalgo and the british carribean fort in the first "Pirates of the Carribean", among a bazillion other movies. But it's kinda cool to see bits of catalina from the caribean fort.

Love your posts, tanga, I'd never seen a picture of that fountain before - very cool!
