right, Macao Beach is the lastreal Beachstretch for the local community to enjoy a day on the beach with some good affordable non touristy priced food.
what they should stop/ban since a long time, is the very bothering Excursions coming with their vehicles right on the beach, doing their rounds in those lil trash buggies, filling the scene with their safari trucks and alikes.
provide those tours parking at the beach entrance and let the people walk in to enjoy restaurants and bars and beach.
but to close it for the public completely? under what reasoning?
what kind of project is planned there to kick the local commerce out there now? one year it was the plans for a large Marina, an other year it is the Ministerio de Nuevo Ambiente telling all get's "polluted", an other year is told that the currents there would be too dangerous to be open for the public.
well, the reasonings always depend on from which side big money is offered.
close it for the Tourvehicles, kick your authorities to do their job guarding the beach to keep swimmers safe, provide parking for private vehicles in a way that fits fine with the natural beauty of the place, build real washroom facilities where every visitor has to pay some pesos for their use, and it could be for ever a beautiful place to visit.
