LMAO - no one is being intimidated. The beach is open, PointBreak is serving delicious tacos, the surf schools seem to be thriving and there were a LOT of tourists out in the water again yesterday. If anything malicious happens I'll be sure to let y'all know..

I am glad to hear that. Is the old road open again for vehicular traffic?
Yup, it is open.

Director de Medio Ambiente de Puerto Plata dice que la Junta Distrital de Cabarete es la responsable de abrir y mantener abierto el camino viejo que comunica a Playa Encuentro, el cual lo mantiene cerrado una compañia privada.

I were there a couple of days ago, using the old road. The old road were blocked and a big security guard with shotgun guarding the entrance telling me I could only pass walking, no moto or car.From a question I asked on Facebook a few days ago, to another post today on Facebook, The road is still NOT OPEN to vehicular traffic as the court ordered:

Go to the video and you can see the rocks still blocking the road.
English is not my native language, but I still wonder why someone can not read what I wroteNB. You can enter the beach at the other end with car without problems, but the old road remains blocked. Signs with private property/construction in progress there and no trespassing. Google map coordinates 19.780562, -70.446312 or QHJ3+6F

And the old road from Cabarete is still closed, map coordinates given in my previous post
Jeezus, must stop posting here, always someone that disputes facts
My replies are based on the fact that you guys keep ranting on and on about the "old" road being closed. That gives the impression that the beach is inaccessible which in-turn hurts the vendors and surf schools down there. Most people are not going to read the 24 pages of this thread, so statements like "the road to Encuentro is closed" or "a security guard with shotgun stopped me for entering" are misleading. Whatever "old" road you keep referring to was probably on private property, they closed it off and made a new public entrance..
Again, I surf Encuentro almost every single morning. If access to the beach gets blocked I will be the first one on here screaming about it.

I am glad people like you still get to surf there without any perceived problem.
There is still an illegal closure of the old road. That is still an issue for all the reasons etolw pointed out.
Now people say ok, we still have access through this private road and parking, surf is good... but then in a couple of years this private access road could be closed. Boom. No beach access.

There is a gov't entity that dictates whether a property owner needs to give public access to waterfront. They review building plans, do site visits and make a ruling. It would be no different at Encuentro.
No, two different subjects. That's about the old Camino Viejo, which may have been abandoned by the town long ago.
I was talking about beach access from RT 5.
