I used to live where the yellow dot appears in the map. We spent many pleasant weekend afternoons at Madera Beach, but I never saw the church. :scratch:

It probably landed there after you had moved. (That's if chickens can fly!)

Judging by the postcard pic John Gray posted, the church has been there since at least the 1940s. The cars give it a rough date.

We pretty much scoured the Pinellas County beaches, but never came across the church building. There are definitely more buildings in that area now than the postcard shows. That area is primo real estate.
