Unfortunately it's not in the online version, but there is a story on the front page of the DH today about this.

I would say that most of the votes are probably NOT locals, on that particular question anyway.

RonDon said: Maybe people should ban together and stage a "sit-in" on this beach, like a flash mob. Wonder how the security guard (s) would handle that. That would be interesting to see. Should make a good utube video.

You have an excellent point there. Wonder what would happen if someone tried to picket at the front entrance of the hotel?? <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Laugh.gif" alt="" />

I really dislike the Westin and wouldn't stay there if they were the last hotel on the island. JMHO <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/thumbsdown.gif" alt="" />

Totally agree. It was my understanding all the beaches are public...period. The guard quoted in the article appeared to translate the usage rights as exclusive to the hotel and thus denying access to the general public. My additional question is there any limitation to the hotel's usage rights with respect to the width of the beach which would prohibit them putting their umbrellas on every square inch of the beach.

Or Ms. B's. She had a rib place there also, but possibly not in 1980, not sure when Ms. B's started there.

Ms. B's always was further down the beach. The other poster said "rib shack" and I always associated Ms. B's with ribs.

kish said: The rib place was Scavangers! Siiigh! Could have been. I think I remember looking up from water's edge and seeing a hotel sign ..... I wondered how one would get to that hotel. That road to Dawn was soooo bad! Next to the place cooking food was a lady weaving hats & baskets. This was possibly 80 or 81 since our first trip to SXM was 1979 and that time we never left P'Burg except for an island bus tour.
