The first time I ever used the Beach Club bathroom was in June of 1969.

Of course..there was little sand in there because there were not many people using the place.

It has changed little since then...except for the nice new sink area and new mirrors.

With all due respect, I think a 44 year old underground beach bathroom that lasts 44 years with little changes may be due for an upgrade.

If people would clean their feet off before going into the bathroom...there would not be so much sand.

There is only so much you can do to clean off your feet when you are at the beach.  I would never think of entering the bathroom with bare feet, so I guess I would need to stop at the shower station, remove my sandals and then wash the sand off from the bottom.  I would then walk 3 feet and they would be covered with sand again.

I just saw Jack Barnes' post about the OC bathroom replacements and I agree that it's a good comparison.

It's nice that you can avoid the busy times at the beach, I assume you are a full-time resident.  Part-time residents don't have the same flexibility. I'm not whining, I chose to purchase a home in OP 2 years ago.  I love it! I don't know for sure, but I bet that many part-time residents use the beach club heavily while not using the other amenities as much. 

For the record, I don't believe the Beach Club should be torn down.  However, I do believe that an amenity that is used by so many, and accounts for it's own expenses, should live up to acceptable standards.  The bathroom is very bad by many standards.
