Yes indeed. I can't imagine sitting there and smelling that rotting seaweed baking in the sun. Not the SXM experience I would want. Hope they start doing something about that now that they are open and renting chairs.
Oops, I see you posted the cleanup as I was typing. Glad they did.

Nice photos - thanks. The parking area looks to be much improved.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

GaKaye said: It's seaweed. It's a natural occurrence on all of the islands. They clean it up in the morning before they open, and more flows in during the day. The beach bars don't like it any more than their customers do, but they can only do so much about it. It doesn't rot on the beach and smell unless they leave it there, and they don't. By the looks of the pictures they weren't cleaning it up. I would think if they were gonna clean it up it would Be done before customers get there. I'm curious though, in one picture there is a couple with their own umbrella and chairs set up in front of an establishment. How will that fly once all spots are up and running?
