I find it a bit one dimensional and very slow, even makes Clash of Clans feels quick. I am also not really a big gamer these days so perhaps more me than the game, but it really hasn't captured me like CofC did.

On the map it's a yellow buoy between the islands. I've got a couple and a level 8 radar so I'm not sure if you need a certain level of that to see them.
I'm up to HQ Lvl10 now and starting to rack up the resources a bit more meaning I can upgrade everything over the next week or so.

I'm only 7185th - you must be playing too much then
I've found that having building health idols and guardians really helps defend your base.
In what way ?
For example my boom cannon with 4700 health suddenly has almost 900 extra health and is harder to take down. This applies to all of your buildings, including those on resource bases!
I found that since getting them people find attacking me much harder.

I'm still enjoying it. CoC has stagnated a lot for me but BB is still providing interest. I'm currently a couple of hours away from my HQ Lvl 11 construction being finished.
Some other people's islands are good fun to attack. Especially the ones who think the best defence is to pack everything in tightly where one rocket can then take out 3 cannons at once
The submarine missions give me just enough resource boosts to keep the upgrades coming at a steady rate too.

Holy moly! If you don't have any kind of patience, then these types of games are a bad idea!!
It's not actually so much patience, there are many on the supercell forums that have dropped way more than that. The way I see it is it's no different than hitting the casino and blowing a few quid. I have got loads of game time and enjoyment from it and although it's relatively expensive gaming wise in the grand scheme of things it's not much. The problem really is the diamonds are too expensive as when you get to nearing level 40 an instant upgrade for most of the bits is almost 2k diamond which is nearing a tenner.
Asda have the App Store £25 cards for £20 so stocked up hehe.
I certainly wouldn't start playing coc though aswell as I can just imagine what will happen!
I get 500 diamonds a week and enjoy the game. I don't smoke and drink little so its a guilty pleasure. I use the diamonds for finishing things early when I have the resources ready to drop on the next upgrade before they are stolen. It's working well.
That's my view on it, I just have progressed from 500 to buying 2500. I have to hand it to supercell though for the shear ingenuity of what they make that makes us want to spend to upgrade. I actually think men have some sort of weak spot with the upgrade in whatever form!
Slightly worrying for me is I don't know where it will end, they will keep changing it and evolving it to make to appealing to revisit. I can't see me hitting level 60 but then again I can't seem me stopping playing either.

I'm not going to spend a penny on this. Just upgraded to TH14 with a combination of saved resources, terror raids and saved diamonds.
I spent £14 on CoC back when I was TH7 - partly to get me some out of reach upgrades and partly to support the developers. They are loaded now I'm not going to bother.
