I vividly remember when there was no Sunset Beach Bar, No Royal Islander and almost nothing else out there but an open expanse of beach all the way to the original Caravanserai before it was first developed into timeshare under various different names. We used to walk the golf course after dinner at any of the many MBR & C eateries and check out the late American flight before walking back to our unit. A great way to work off some of those great meals.
We also happened to be on island in I think 1984 when Neil got his first sets of plastic deck tables and chairs at the PLP. We wandered in for dinner as he and Sean were sitting at the bar and they let us dine on the new deck area. I think we were among the first to have dined al fresco at the Peg Leg Pub.
