Took me days to get on here and now can't stop. OK, one more thing. Best beach experience. We walked entire length of beach from river up to Cosmos, a couple of times. We stopped at a lot of little places and met some great people and had some fun, but favorite beach experience was to take drinks and snacks up to public park just past Cosmos and just hang out. Not literally. Kept the suits on. Some strollers go by now and then but pretty much have a wide swath of beach and ocean to yourselves. Spent hours and hours on the best beach I have ever seen. When we ran out of snacks or drinks just took a short walk to Cosmos. And Cosmos is a great place. Great food. Had the best brown stew there. Can also pay to use the beach in front of Cosmos which comes with use of nice showers and changing rooms.

Would you mind sharing why Peewee's made you sad? I too have great memories there (also from the 80s) and I was hoping to check it out when I'm there in a few weeks.

There is no use trying to explain it to people who haven't been. It truly is "once you go, you know"! Glad you had a good time and welcome back .... this is all of our Home away from Home!

Curious if Omar the security guard is still at xtabi? Was there in July and he mentioned he'd gotten married to a lady from Montana but wasn't sure when he was moving there,wish all the best to him and like to see him again this reach if he's still on the rock

Onceyougo,
The wave of sadness was a big surprise when it happened, but could have been anticipated and expected. You mentioned "memories" and I guess the sadness was the result of too much reminiscing. Started missing things that are gone. PeeWee and his family, other friends I had run with back in the old days, youth and youthful ways. Just the whole "you can't go home again" meme. And the place could use more consistent maintenance and management.
But the water, sun, and sky are still there, and some new interesting characters. Move forward, carry-on.
