During our July 2012 trip to Negril, it seemed that the beach buoys were in so much closer on the beach, than in 2011.

I saw this at Rooms on the Beach(Where I've swam to Alfred' platform) and RIU Palace...

Did anyone notice this?

Looking at the beach sand pictures Rob posted, I noticed how close the white buoys seem to be to shore.

Do the resorts decide how far their buoys are from shore?

SKB...
