PLEASE!! Beach Report??
October 07 2016 19:54


Greetings All,
We were there in April and the beach in front of the Perch was very narrow. We had the first row of chairs next to the Perch and our chairs were more or less in line with the stairs of the Perch and there was only walking space in front of us, very narrow. I'm curious to know the situation now. How has it changed since April? Narrower in places? Wider in places? The same? Is the Perch a swim up bar? Just curious as we will be there in about a month wearing only smiles and sunglasses. Please advise. Thanks!!

Been on the beach at Club O since Oct 6, cept for today when TheRingLady wanted a run to the Maigot market. Where we bought a total of one tank top for me......geezzzz. At least we stopped at Super U to look that over and buy a few things. Super U does have some great prices and good selection.
Anyhow, beach from the blue umbrellas till almost the 2nd garbage can south of the Perch (about 250+ feet is one row of chairs). Good thing is that the wave slope is long so no waves lapping anywhere near Perch steps. Lots of walking spacee. From 2nd garbage it widens out quickly to a usable 3 rows. I can see tho, that come late Oct as users pick up there will be a scramble for day visitor chairs. Up near Papagayos, where the rip-rap was put in last Fall (15') there is still erosion up to within about 5' of the concrete porch of #47. Quote a length from Papagayo's north is roped off to keep the drunks from falling over the edge - LOL. Our stay so far is short but it seems like the beach is trying to rebuild, hard to tell as the rip-rap in front of Papagayo and then to the north has changed the current along the rest of the beach. Can't beat Mother Nature, no way.

See other update I did this am. Our wifi bandwidth is **********py so have to get up early to do internet.
Anyone walking from Pedro's blue umbrellas toward Papagayo is gonna get their feet wet, no way around it unless walking Club O property and behind fence.
This keeps up and the Perch may become a swim-up bar.
