If you are standing at the end of Belcher Road looking out at the old pier, you’ll also notice the old
road that once allowed cars to drive right along the seawall all the way up to the old Laff-a-Lot (now
South Beach Bar & Grille). The old road was washed out in the early 1980s and is only a memory now.
