Thanks for that quick reply and info, Ashley.
To know that this spot (where her car was found near the water) is not a hang out location is a game-changer for me on what I suspect is going on.
This seems to be a place only locals know about. Tourists wouldn't really know about it, right?
I wouldn't imagine many tourists knowing about it unless they were fishing enthusiasts, but even then they usually enter the intracoastal waterway nearer to 501.
