Simpson Bay Resort has restored their webcams! Much better resolution too. They are not live action but the picture refreshes every few minutes.

Thanks for the info. I had never seen this beach before. Is this what was formally known as Pelican Resort?

Wow, I thought the Villas were open for people to stay there, but I don't see a soul on either webcam!!

Thank you for the views. I spoke to the Management last summer regarding the webcam
pictures. They were dated from May, 2016 until yesterday. Noticed new roof on F23 &
F24. Also see that the beach bar is gone, which was scheduled for a new build. What is
the plastic enclosure up on the upper deck....going to be very hot in the summer?

Looks like a protection from rain....only a roof..no sides and it looks like it is easily taken down as evidenced by the worker bending over to clean it. Yesterday there were tables under it... ![[Linked Image]](http://www.traveltalkonline.com/gallery/40/medium/729.jpg)

It's my understanding from comments on Facebook that the people staying there are workers and some employees that lost their homes or are in the midst of making repairs to their home to make them habitable.
