St. Catherine. That did not happen because the vendor was told to move for construction…has construction started?
We were excited to go to Clearwater Beach and were told chair rental was available and of course Gombey’s for consession. The best fish we had the entire week was at Gombey’s. However, there were only 4 beach lounge chairs so we were short a few chairs. Because it was a week day, the beach had several tourists and not a crowd. However, several young local men were on the bench under the tree behind us smoking pot. I was not at all happy about that.
Tobacco Bay was fun with no shortage of anything….good for the people in charge.

Why couldn’t the concession been given to a smaller restaurant. That would have at least shared the benefits of tourism equitably Sure, rick might have a good track record, but is it really necessary for him to own three restaurants? It’s the definition of gluttony. Again, the rich getting richer

Gypsy Cabs line up daily to snatch $10 or whatever they can con out of tourists to take to the beaches and back.

What’s the status of the bathrooms at Chaplin Bay & Warwick Long Bay? Are they up to par like Horseshoe Bay?

Reality is Horseshoe is closed.

The East End will enjoy some trade for a time but look out when the Bay opens and the rum flows and the buses and taxi’s drop off.

Oh to be rick..I mean rich.

Can’t it at the least be given proper bathrooms?
