Bird Creek Bridge is in the background. The entire area here was once full of sand where Elvis and his extended family in Follow That Dream homestead the land. Much of the movie was filmed here.

What is left of the beach that once existed is seen in this image. The beach extended over a large area for the scenes where Presley's extended family homesteaded.

Elvis fished off of Bird Creek Bridge here.  The road has now been named Follow that Dream Parkway.  The sand beach was built with 10 tons of sand hauled in for the scenes here which have become over grown.  Some of the same palm trees are still standing.
