    Changes in TB

    Things never change right? Wrong - We were in TB for a week in Feb. Took a walk down to the steps to nowhere (across from Sandy Rose/Villa Arcadia) - used to watch sunsets there. A house has gone up - within the past year too - the interior of the house is not quite finished, but almost. The exterior is done (nice blue and white concrete).

    Walked down the road toward Billys Bay from there. We used to take the goat path to a beautiful secluded small beach (known as Clark's beach). There is a fence up now that says no trespassing - turtle sanctuary or something like that. You can still get to Clark's beach by walking down the beach/rock which we did one day. There were several people fishing and a couple people sitting in the sun. Never saw anyone at that beach before.

    The property next to Clark's beach is also fenced off - it appears they are putting in bathrooms and a couple of thatched covered tables. We were told someone from Mandeville bought it so they would have a place to go on weekends. Looked more commercial than private to us.

    Go down the road further, there is a place going up between Minerva and Terrazas - right now just a concrete pavilion with a curving road being built to go to beach - have been told a house and pool will be put in.

    Police are also trying to charge rental villas a fee to use the beach in front of their properties.

    Oh well, just thought I would pass on a few observations of changes in TB as we were quite surprised and had not heard of any of these changes before we got there.

    Our last visit 2 HUGE houses went up right in front of Great Bay beach. I was told they will be villa rentals.

    HOW?! can the police charge for beach usage?

    would you vets still recommend it as a place for a newb that isnt into the whole touristy scene and wants to mingle with the locals?? the thing about the police trying to charge for beach access is scary... we all know police can do as they please behind curtain.. in any country!!

    TB has prices in most every range. What are your needs? TV? Hot water? Pool? Ocean view? Bare bones but clean? Electricity? Quiet nights?
    As far as mingling, you can dine and drink with locals most everywhere.

    I have found out it isn't the police, it is the National Environmental and Planning Agency. It appears they are trying to get the villa owners who own property on the beach to pay for a beach license. So it is not like the police are on the beach hassling anyone (tourists or locals)

    I agree with MilwaukeeMike - you can find something in every price range and you can definitely mingle with the locals in TB. Check out Treasure Beach.net - places to stay and you will get a lot of information of what is available.

    Negril One Stop is running a special at Treasure Beach hotel for $75 a night including taxes. We thought it was a pretty sweet deal.
