Can we presume that Tom told you he would not rebuild?
What if he had help?
Might he rebuild then?

Sad day for Sosua beach - best bar gone...
What if he had help?
Might he rebuild then?
Yes, he told me last night. Of course, it could be a spontaneous reaction. You have to ask him, I am sure he will be around in town now when there is no bar. Maybe you get the chance to ask him when he eats your famous ribs...
He told me earlier today to say thanks to all who cares. He knows burgers, not Internet...

Then I probably know him, but can't put a face to the name.
Does anyone have the means to get in touch with him to find out if he wants help?
best burgers.......gone
They had the BEST food on the beach......NOW where am I going to eat????

Well
I'll catch hell about this, I know for sure. But I wish they'd all burned down. I don't know who lost what in the 6-tiendita fire, but with the new submarine park, scubadiving area being developed and things developing, I'm sorry for the individuals trying to make a living, but for the greater good, all those places, every one has to go. Tourists go to the beach and are virtually attacked by the vendors from all those places, "buy here, eat here, chairs there", all that. I don't even go to the beach there because there is always such a big hussle. And the owners of the places, locals, foreigners, don't own ANY of it really.
It is one of the most beautiful beaches on the north coast, but unfortunately inundated by a bunch of haitian art pedellers, cheap rum sellers and others who contribute to the low-life image Sosua has. It will change. Burn that shyyte down and bulldoze it tomorrow.
Sorry, but things have to change here. And they are changing.
I wish Tom, or other owners good luck, but you[ve had a good run I guess, I don't know. But the north coast is changing! and I'm backing the change bubba, 100%. Sorry, like i said, I know I'll catch a lot of shyte about this and probablly won't respond, but.............there you go.

There's no reason you should catch shyte for your opinion.
You're right about what you say, although lot's of people find the casetas charming and want them to stay.
There's no pleasing everyone.
I just thought, that because this dude Tom seems to be such a positive factor on the beach, that we might help him.

I agree with u, I hate the stupid vendors. I sometimes walk down by the sea, but then the beach chair molesters catch u... Scandinavian bar was on of very, very few places that was kind of nice. Yeah tear down the beach shacks and los Charamicos....mm not that easy... Vuelga Vuelga. For 5 years I have heard that the shacks were going down, nothing has happened
Hmmm...one of the most beautiful beaches...? You don,t travel the north coast much. What makes Sosua beach great is the little bars and shops, not to mention the Dominican girls in bikinis.
I wish Tom and his folks the best and I hope he starts up again.

Iam heartbroken for you Tom. F***! Definatley the coolest place on the beach , great food , always new babes and Tom is the sweetest guy. He always comes out of the kitchen or gets up from his chair to come over and greet everyone at the table with big smiles and a quick joke. Always checks after the meal to make sure everyone enjoyed themselves.
As for as the "poster" who said he thinks this is a good thing.
Let's hope when your life's work and dreams go up in flames and you are crushed some idiot like your self doesnt tell you , " Sorry , you might give me shyte but I think this is a good thing" JERK!

I never realized someone could be so miserable in such a beautiful country.
Have you ever taken a walk on a deserted beach along the shore and played your Harp, or just listened to the music of the waves?
Try it sometime.
tambo'
Sosua Beach is not a deserted beach where you can walk along the shore and hear the music of the waves, let alone your own harp!
I went to Sosua Beach and had a panic attack when the sounds of loud music, the foul odors and the people coming at me from all directions trying to sell something or beg for something got to be too much! It was NOT a pleasant experience for me.
That said, I suppose there are people who might enjoy it, but everyone has their opinion, and tflea just voiced his.

I've read mountains of opinions about the casetas on Sosua beach, and there seem to be as many for as against.
It's inevitable that one day they will tear them down, as they are on "stolen land".
In the meantime, those who have casetas there and are a positive aspect of Sosua, are to be commended, and the rest who harass the heck out of tourists, we could do without.
What I found amusing (?) about this article was when they said the fire fighters arrived they couldn't put out the fire because they didn't have water. Duh, isn't there an ocean about 100 feet away???
ONLY IN THE DR!
Personally myself and the people I travel with have always considered Sosua one of the biggest sh!tholes in the DR......but hey whatever floats your boat....
are you serious.....it is the dominican republic....I think 30 minutes would be much faster than I would have guessed!!!!!!!!!!!!!
