MFI, the cabbage tree palm does sound well adapted to a moderate coastal environment such as mine. Thanks for always being there with interesting scientific information.
But I don't think it's the palm in my photo. Based on the photos in your response and many others from a Google Image search, it appears that the cabbage tree palm exhibits a substantial length of bare trunk. The palm in my photo has almost all of the trunk hidden by thick dry-looking growth.
I'll do some more investigation on palm identification to try and confirm what variety of palm I photographed. But results of initial research suggests the Mexican Fan Palm as a possible identification.

Don't blame me - I didn't vote for him!
