Book Cover Location
I think I know where Jimmy is in the book cover photo. He is lounging on Smather's Beach in Key West. That HAS to be it. There is the rock jetty and familiar palms. Any further angle to the right, you would be the stone building that houses the restrooms.
Sunset Beach is my Margaritaville. Where there is endless beach, no time, and sunshine that seems to last forever. I know that Someday I Will.....Someday.

I was on Smathers Beach just last month, saw some scattered pig tracks in the sand, never gave it a second thought...........SouthernSeas wrote:I think I know where Jimmy is in the book cover photo.

I think the BNers need to organize a visit to KW and solve this little mystery first hand!!!!!wiscoleeds wrote:It's the beach on Sunset Key...tiny little island that's a 5 minute boot trip off of Key West (Hilton Resort launch).
Let's just say I have first hand experience on that beach and have swung in that hammock.

I know someone who was there at the time of the shoot and that in the Sunset Key owners waiting room (Hilton Marina) there are framed pictures of the photoshoot.

Lets see...where would you be more likely to find Jimmy these days....on Smathers Beach, where the masses gather, or Sunset Key (cough...Tank Island...cough), where the commoners are kept at bay, literally....
