RonDon said:GaKaye said: It certainly sounds like the area will be improved, but it's really hard for me to understand how they will put a beach in front of the Villa building. I guess it's similar to how they filled in the Marigot harbor area, but in this case with sand instead of concrete. I'll be interested to see what it looks like when we're there in November. I certainly don't expect it to be completed, but I'm guessing work will be under way.
I also wonder if this will allow walking on the beach all the way to Buccaneer. That would be nice. Probably it would be done as it was back in the late 70's for Great Bay Hotel. Most don't realize that's a "man-made" beach. You could not walk there from town then the beach made it great now there's a boardwalk. The beach at Divi when it was Little Bay Beach & Racket Club wasn't as you see it now. It was more of a beach closer to Belair. Sometimes when there's a storm erosion exposes rocks then they take dredged sands to replenish the beach. Philipsburg by Great Bay Hotel is not a man made beach. They have added sand and widened it but there was always a natural pretty beach there. you could always walk the entire section of beach.
