Barefoot Beach Resort

 The Barefoot Beach Resort is an upscale community on a long, thin peninsula between the Gulf of Mexico and Little Hickory Bay in North Naples.  The community was badly damaged by Hurricane Ian in September 2022.  I had not been there since the hurricane.



While there are still numerous damaged buildings, most now look like they have recovered.  

One thing that struck me after not having seen the neighborhood since 2022 is that many of the buildings are pink, a very popular color in Southwest Florida in the 1990s but less often used now.

Newer buildings and buildings that have undergone major restoration are now more often gray or white.

Pink looks better here I think.

I remember many pink buildings in Florida, but I was mostly on the east coast. Good to see much of the damage for Ian now repaired. I'm hoping the coming hurricane season is a mild one, but we shall have to wait and see.
