Hi Carol,

Given you are a sxm regular, Antigua might be a match. I find it shares some vibes at times. Having said that it misses areas like Simpson Bay, Maho Orient Bay and Grand Case where you walk from venue to venue.

Rodney Bay area St Lucia does has that vibe. + lush Pitons area - not sure why a hard no for STL. My guess is better match than some other options

Fairly nice sunrise today (see sunrise panorama), should be packed on the beach- no, packed parking lot rather. Beach is not at all crowded, even with afternoon high tides, since there is so much sand right now! Talked to a construction engineer yesterday who confirmed there will be both a large bathhouse near the entrance as well as showers near the path to the beach. Should all be beautiful when it's finally done. Completion date still supposedly 12/1 +/- a few days. The engineer played it cagily and would not commit to that! People still have to park 3/4 of a mile away at Little Mud Creek. Some smart folks are dropping their stuff off at the auxiliary path entrance just north of the closed BCB main entrance, parking and riding bikes (or even scooters) back.
