I've noticed that the beach part that is seen on their webcam is getting smaller. I guess they could move the railing further back to accommodate the extra rows of chairs between the Perch & Papagayo. Even in Nov. the HH line extended into the water.
I'm going where the weather suits my clothes.

It is sad to see such a beautiful beach change so much over the years. There has definitely been more sand leaving than coming back lately, and it doesn't seem that is going to change any time soon. They may have to extend the beach backwards to make more room! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/duh.gif" alt="" />

We see the same thing here in Lewes, De. It's a constant battle against the sea. Delaware spends million of dollars putting sand back on the beaches only to have the next storm take it away. My house is less than a half mile from the beach and I truly believe one day it will be beach front property. It's a world wide problem.

Not Orient, I know, but has anyone been to Shoal Bay East lately in the area where Gwen's used to be? It was heartbreaking to see the erosion along that stretch of beach and all those beautiful palms falling into the water, not to mention what it did to Gwen's and the little spa next door.
We asked what was causing it and the best guess of some of the locals back then was that it might be a result of some serious dredging that was being done elsewhere but in a relatively close proximation to this part of the island.
I don't know if this was fact or merely an assumption on the part of the gentlemen we were talking to. Any thoughts or any real facts from our frequent AXA visitors?
Respectfully,

John--what's the status with the 'new' restaurants opening on Orient?
