It seems to bother a lot of you by my reporting what I get from people who either are there or have friends and family on Beacon Hill. We own on Beacon Hill and I certainly understand their fears. If you ever have been to Simpson Bay Beach at El Zifaro or Beachside villas , you would know the stairway from the beach to Beacon Hill. The military from what I have heard are at the roundabout in Maho guarding the Beacon Hill entrance and also Maho but no one has patrolled the beach entrance to Beacon Hill. The stairway is the only access to Beacon Hill from the beach.
I hate having to post this but if I don't I would feel worse.
