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.
