Additional information:
"Pelicans Statue" was a statue that previously existed at Lynn Hall Beach Park. The statue was previously located at 26.453732, -81.957217, behind the parks restrooms (the current in-game location is slightly incorrect).
The statues were destroyed in September 2022 by Hurricane Ian, which destroyed most of the park and surrounding area. This can be seen in the walkthrough video above and satellite imagery, which shows the park restroom building and the statue no longer present.
