I live here in Cabrera and visit Playa Grande every week. My wife and I used to jog it every morning. It was beautiful, pristine and totally unspoiled. We had so much fun. But we have been doing this for 10 years now and 'progress' will occur as it has here.
Playa Grande will continue to be one of the most beautiful beaches in the country but it will have a lot more restrictions than it does today. You will need to park in a certain place (not on the beach as today), noise will be limited (not today), midnight campfires resulting in glorious morning sunrises are now a thing of the past (unless you own one of Boykin's caba?as) and other things will change. It's unfortunate but since Hipolito Mejia sold it and the golf course for $55 million (and had the central bank finance it to boot) there is little we non-Dominicans can do.
Until the Dominicans say 'stop it' and really mean it we will see every portion of this country eventually 'progressed' away. At least Boykin seems to care enough to do it the right way (from what I see, they never tell anyone what they are doing).

I read somewhere, but I cant remember where, that Samana was actually an island an connected to the mainland of the DR via a hurricane, a few hundred years ago.
Beaches come and go with storms and other weather phenomena, is there any specific actions by the developers that allegedly lead to the erosion of the beach?
Boykin C. and his investors have no idea what they're spoiling. Nor do they care. But people are still sucking up to them.
It may be a positive for the area......and maybe not. Only time will tell. It'll be interesting, but they have already fu..ed up
in choosing the architect at hole #2 at Playa Grande golf course..
That was a tide thing- the beach is still one of the beautiful in the entire Caribbean. Don't look for any big time development soon, gracias a Dios and the horrible world economy. The owners are sitting on their investment doing nothing. The development you see is only a new access to Playa Grande being done by the first group of investers who sold out to the current owners but kept a small piece of the pie ( the very best) for themselves.
