I have been able to observe all aspects of life in Costambar for 20 years. At no time ever have the Costambar beaches been privatized. The beaches have always been open to both Dominican and all others not living in Costambar. I challenge anyone to deny the fact that the beaches are "public."
The only restriction is for bus access and it is only a short walk to the beach.
The reason to restrict bus access is that in the recent past, on certain hollidays, such as Semana Santa, as many as 65 large heavy buses have been counted by me and others on occasion entering Costambar, adversely affecting the road conditions and creating chaotic parking at the beach. There is no restriction for access by cars on such holidays, or pedestrians either. Costambar Beach is not privatized! Canadian Bob.
