Just saw on FB......Luiz has built a small shack and has reopened his bathing suit business on Orient Beach. Glad to see that this is the beginning of the "Return of Orient Beach". Wish him much success....and hope we can continue to see PROGRESS on our favorite beach.

My guess is no permit...looks like a quick temporary structure....but the good news is that he is trying to get back to a semi ''normal'' life. Will he be busy?? Probably not for a while....but at least he isn't staying home and doing nothing to try to get back to normal. I commend him for his quick reopening, and wish him all the luck in the world. As time goes on, I am sure his business will return stronger. His business is NO DIFFERENT than any of the restaurants...beach bars....chair rental guys....auto rental guys....etc. Will any of them be busy for now into the foreseeable future?? Probably not...and with most of the larger resorts (both timeshare and hotel) closed for the foreseeable future, the number of tourists coming to spend their money is way limited. I guess the old adage...''Only the strong will survive" will be the mantra for our special island. Praying for all the people of SXM.
