Dear Editor,
It seems to be that there are some people on the island hell bent on destroying good things. The one thing this Island is most famous for, is keeping tourists and locals alike, happy. The one thing we simply can’t do is destroy beach areas, especially in Simpson Bay.
I am referring to what is surely going to be the wanton destruction of Kim Sha beach to so-called property developers. Who they are nobody knows. Many rumours abound that there is a land swap deal. By whom and to whom are still a well-kept secret. And, what do they want to do with it?
Their plans are being kept under close wraps till whatever the deal is, has been finalized. The traditional beach bar called La Bamba, the dive hut and a large car parking space are all slated to be going in this deal. Tuesday evenings at La Bamba have become one of St. Martin’s iconic evenings with hundreds of revellers joining in their Latin Nights. All this is going to be bulldozed and it has happened all so quickly. Is there something murky about this?
What is going to happen to the partying on the beach for the Heineken Regatta for example?
