St. Maarten Private Eye

And I don't think people here would ever let it be otherwise.

Dawn Beach is still open for use but you have to park at Ms B's or Busby's and walk/climb over the rocks to get to it. I do not believe Columbia Sucksit has made any provision for people to park on their property to use the beach.

As for the future, supposedly public parking has been planned, not sure how many spaces or where, I heard it was not many and up the valley a bit. During Scavengers time there could be up to 30 of 40 cars there on a Sunday, I doubt there will be anything like that many spaces.

Also, there is no longer a Scavengers and you know your beers are likely to be $4 minimum at the hotel bar. And what about bringing your own chairs, umbrella's, cooler boxes. Will we be restricted on where we can lay our towels by the hotel beach business? All important and valid questions, but Roy says it's going to bring lots of jobs and thats what matters most, to him anyway.

Have you ever been to Gibbs Bay? Tell the guard at Red Pond Estate that you want to drive down to the beach, he has to let you through. It has a beautiful secluded beach and the fresh water pond is teaming with wildlife and birds, it's very peaceful. I know the rule about how it would be destroyed if more people knew about it but I think in this case it's different. The more people that know the better, besides, it's going to be destroyed anyway.

Go enjoy it while you can.
