ruins question...

Post by stjchica »

I was wondering if someone can help. Isn't there a ruin that has a square opening you can stand/sit in that frames the ocean?? Thought I saw one but can't remember which one or where is is located..Help please...

There is a ruin, old stone building with either a doorway or a window facing the water, overlooking Lameshur.
Its been a hell of a ride, destination still unknown!

Thanks UF Prof...Yes, that's the one....I guess there is a trail to get to it...Do you know if it's an easy walk or a harder hike? Thanks..Would love to get a few pics there..

The ruins are actually right next to Little Lameshur. If you drive past the beach you can park right next to the ruins.

You can see it from the beach. It's an easy walk, or you can drive right up and park behind it. Last time I was there a tree had grown up an nearly blocked that view.

They cut down the growth every now and then. There are also additional windows in the ruins. Generally speaking, at least one of the windows can be used for a great shot.
