There will always be those willing to pay simply to 'see and be seen' but as far as I'm concerned, it's the same beach and I sure wouldn't pay that kind of money.

I'm still surprised they were granted the right to build a structure that sounds like it's pretty good-sized right there on that particular beach, particularly with showers and such. Can't help but worry about the environmental sustainability but I'm sure the people who granted the permits took all that into consideration. Yeah! Right! We were on the beach the day they made Jorritt rip out his deck because of lack of appropriate permits and his enlarged deck encroaching onto the beach and damaging it.
