to add to this, there is a sign at the entrance/gate that says "Gate Closed at 5:00"...we stopped by last week just to catch sunset, and the gate was still open around 5:30ish...we drove in (we were the only car in there except for Dany's truck) and saw Dany putting his stuff away...we didn't want to get locked in (or pay <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />), so we drove back out and parked in the free area outside the gate <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Wink.gif" alt="" />

the above is regarding Cupecoy Beach...regarding Happy Bay, Danny is still there, but he told us that although he usually has all the cooking ingredients, he doesn't always fire up his grill...if a customer asks for food, he will then cook for them...so if you go, and don't see any cooking going on, don't be afraid to approach him and ask about food <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/chef.gif" alt="" />
