Very nice and hope more businesses do this....you mean they should've picked a light that looked more like a palm tree??

Here is a small commercial example of CCLP lighted palm trees. CCLP's were locally crafted out of metal pipe bent to resemble a palm tree trunk and re-bar bent to resemble palm tree leaves and wrapped in rope lighting ........ they can be made as big or small as needed ............ Very attractive and all over their property.Originally Posted by Comforts of Home Nursing

Don't like the street light. Sure, lighting makes people feel safer and all that, but a light like that makes me feel like I am out on our city square instead of a tropical island. A few diffused lights around the perimeter would seem a bit more appropriate to me. Just my opinion... Years ago White Sands had a big sodium vapor light on their balcony by the ocean, it did serve as a beacon for me to find my way back, staggering my way down the beach late at night, so in that regard it was ok
Well they installed the new sidewalk so maybe a new lighting system along the beach may be doable at some point. It would be nice if it were all uniformed, and, yes, a little more attractive than just street lighting. Perhaps 100% solar powered, if that is possible.

The government has been asked to set up commercial lighting (street lights) along the beach...this was requested by tourists, residents and hoteliers alike to provide lighting as a means of safety while walking the beach at night.
As this has not yet been provided by the government...a BIG thank you to Woodstock for making your beach area more safely accessible at night!
IMO...I'll take safety before aesthetics...but hopefully in the near future there can be a nice balance of both.
Yes, solar power lights are possible here and have been done commercially through the government. You can see many of these lights on parts of the highway to Kingston...definitely doable. But, as I say that...I wonder how easy solar power is to maintain next to the sea (salt water) and sand.
They can wrap it to help it blend in better to help with the aesthetics. I think it is nice that the owner is taking steps to improve the overall experience for his customers and hopefully will set the precedent for others to follow.
