Unless something has changed, I believe it has been posted here that Gus has been run off of Baie Rouge. Why would you want to leave the best beach on the island anyway?? Although it is a pain to haul chairs, you could rent chairs and umbrella from Craig at Packlight, as well as a cooler. There are coolers at BSV that you can use, but be advised they are too big to carry to the beach, for ME. They are a full family sized cooler, which most people don't need at BSV. There MAY be umbrellas there at BSV for your use, but to me they are not heavy enough to really warrant bothering with them, in SXM's heavy winds. Craig's umbrellas are good, sturdy ones.
