My memory is a bit cloudy but on my second trip to SXM in the late 70's, pre Club O, Pedro had a shack or a VW bus type thing with a BBQ and most of his customers walked over from the Le Galion hotel. The beach was pretty much empty with perhaps a dozen couples on its entire length. I do remember eating a grilled marlin steak washed down with some ice cold heinies. And it was CO back in those days along the entire beach since there was nothing else there, hard to believe now!
