Yes the beach regeneration was done quickly, however the regeneration has been stopped at Juan Dolio Public Beach and from what I understand will not be continued down to Guayacanes as originally stated for several reasons.
However, while the new beach is nice and now permits walking from one end of JD to the other via the beach, in my books sanitation is a much more pressing issue and should have been installed before permissions for the current construction were granted.
What good is a beautiful beach if you can't swim due to polluted water??
Surely those who live here know how the septic systems are installed and where the grey water filters through the coral to the sea, much like the canals of Venice served as a conduit for the refuse of the city to travel to the open sea.
Take a drive down the highway at night from Costa Caribe to Villas del Mar and when it's high season the night 'perfume' wafted inland will make your stomach turn........Thank heavens we live on the sea side of the highway!
