I also got turned away from Sea Horse

We have a vacation home in the Perla Marina area and decided to check out Sea Horse Ranch (given that beaches are open to the public). Once we got there a burly security guard told us that we were not allowed and that if we were interested in seeing the property to visit the sales office. He asked us about 20 questions and once assured that we posed no imminent threat, he escorted us on the small beach, gave us a bit of history and proceeded to escort us off the premises (about 1/4 mile). Just as an FYI he is the personal security guard for the Ibinidier(sp) family, first house going east to west on the Sea Horse property. They are the owners of the Breezes, I think. In other words, in this case, I belive the home owner asks his guard to do this vs. a Sea Horse policy (although they probably don't mind) ;)

Beaches in the US & access

It's my understanding of US law that all the beaches are public below the high water mark. Now I am certain that the high dollar residents of South Hampton and elsewhere have found a way to make it impossible for the people to actually reach the highwater mark. As will happen here in the Samana Peninsula - and quite quickly, I percieve from the rate the land is being bought and sold - the cheapest thing here is $135k - but that was yesterday - it's probably about $180k by now. I doubt that any wealthy Dominicans will be anymore agreeable to have riff raff running along their beaches than they are in South Hampton. Hey, once that little blue "American Express" card sign goes up, there goes the neighborhood!

Plya grande

We were at plya grande last week. Easy public access and delicious lobster on the beach for a reasonable price. About an hour from you.

Playa Grande has also been bought up privately and will have $1000000.00 homes and plenty of security to keep you far away!
Just wait and see.......

Was at Playa Dorada last month. Quite a few Dominican families were on the beach near us, around the Playa Naco and Dorado Club area.
