I honestly do NOT know how they can get away with it, but I guess it's the same deal as one or two places on Orient that do the same thing. All I can say is the sign says very specifically - no coolers. To me, much as it irritates me a bit since they are charging for the chair rentals, I guess they feel if you're using their parking area, their restaurant and their restrooms then they have the right to lay down their own rules? Personally speaking, it's a pretty classy beach operation and I would NOT feel comfortable bringing a cooler there, but that's me and I respect that others might feel differently.<img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
