What is this fascination with concrete? When I think Caribbean, I don't think concrete.
I have always agreed the beach needed a revamp. I object to it being taken away.

Sosúa Beach Renovations
I have always agreed the beach needed a revamp. I object to it being taken away.
This is the current thinking in tourism...eco style. Fitting in with the environment and the area. This is the opposite of that.
Because the renovations are not being driven by a desire to present nature in its best form.
The renovations (in my opinion) are being driven by a desire to exploit what is there for pure profit.
Exactly‼️
I doubt anyone involved in the project is even paying attention to that.
They gots their mind on 💰
Pure 🤑
I am fully in favor of the renovation and the type of renovation.
So, you will be going to Sosua beach once completed, maybe move there?
I have no idea if I will go in the future. I cannot predict the future. Time will tell.
I live in Cabarete. I would NEVER move to Sosua. Not ever.
Will I go there after the renovation? I have no idea. But I am certainly in favor of the renovation to replace the current decrepit "nature" behind the beach.
The beach will remain. The beach isn't being taken away. Just the illegal buildings are being replaced with something new.
One thing is for sure, you can't please everyone. That is one reason this plan took decades, and had previous false starts.
Along with 16 years of do nothing PLD leadership.
And so am I. All I am saying is don't destroy it in the process...all over money. It's sickening.
btw, I feel the same way about Cabarete. I in no way want changes in Cabarete that would ruin what you have there. It's just not my vibe. I hope Cabarete stays the way you like it.
As far as the beach area goes where I live, there could be considerable improvement. There are also bars/restaurants collapsing there like the abortion that was Rocky's Aqua. The beaches I go to range from Calleton, Magante, Rogelio, Congrejo, and Friday the first time at Playa Teco. I hope to add Sosua to that group in a year, but time will tell on that. Some people seem to be obsessed with Sosua.
I don't expect anything to be "ready" in Sosua for about a year. Meanwhile, aside from construction noise, the current vendors not actually displaced by the new plazas being built can remain, allegedly. Don't you love the incessant banging of hammers when concrete work is done? Sosua beach is not being destroyed, just the decrepit structures there will be destroyed. They make it most unpleasant now.
I would rather have a beach with one good vendor and lots of shade than what is on Sosua now.
You are not even planning to goto the beach.
So tell me how you even know what you want.
What the what⁉️
I am in favor of renovation also.
Renovation that takes into account the natural beauty of of the place.
And I know some get and understand my point like @ramesses
💯🎯 Bro.
They are going to remove the shade, just like Playa Alicia I would assume. It's a long beach, the design for the plazas do not bode well for the center of the beach...warm beers by the time they get to you. It's all in the plan to keep people off most of the beach....you know, for the rich people.
It's a beach I have been going to and enjoying for over 20 years. You call it obsession. I call it my favorite place.
I like Rogelio a lot. Teco in Maimon, not so much. Good food around though.
I have my doubts Sosua beach will ever be "ready"...but hey, that's me.
I agree, it's not bad for houses. Good in storms. But, it sure is ugly and uninviting.
Just about anything that lasts that is built here is built from concrete. It doesn't burn and is not attacked by insects.
Those that say concrete isn't Caribbean/Dominican obviously don't looked around much, or they just look at tin roof shacks made from scraps of wood for the walls. If you want something to last here, you build it from concrete and use lots of rebar.
If there is no shade I will go there no more than I do now and just as much as I go to Playa Alicia which is never.
The designs show basically a clone of Playa Alicia only bigger. That is their idea of a nice beach.
