I'm told all permits in place. We have not been in several years.

El Zippo?? ![laugh laugh](/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif) I assume that is a typo? I would love to go to one of the Friday night concerts again at Karakter, but we don't because of parking concerns.

I am pretty certain they would only build with legitimate permits in place. I remember when Jorritt had to tear out a deck extension because he hadn’t pulled the appropriate permits and had infringed on the beach beyond the high water point.

Nobody goes there anymore because it is too crowded. Ah! Remember when it first opened and was so serene. Haven't been since heard how bad parking has become.

What I don't get, is that they had them tear down there other structure only to let them build this another thing that IMHO will end up half way out in Simpson bay beach and will be another dangerous eye sore!!!! If any of my fellow TTOL'ers remember LaPlaya's free standing bar and observation dinning deck??? Irma took her somewhere, that no one knows where that landed. That was built with pure concrete too!!
Sand Gravity, got to love it!

We tend to get to the beach early so I also have not had parking issues, and for no particular reason we did not go to Karakter last year.
I prefer the Isle seat

We were fans of this place from its earliest days but the Last time we went we were turned off by the closeness of the chair set-ups coupled with the volume level of the music. This was a few years ago and hopefully it’s gotten better but if not, oh well..........

This was a few years ago and hopefully it’s gotten better but if not, oh well.......... Hey Pat, you'll be pleased to know that when we were there (several times during the first 2 weeks of December) the chairs were NOT crowded (unlike what El Zafiro has become). Plus, the new chairs are much more comfortable than the old ones ever were. And the music, while not as good as Jorritt's playlist, brought back those fond memories. We had also stopped going to Karakter a few years ago because the music was just not to our taste and way too loud. Never a parking issue for us (but we arrive by 10ish). I'm sure that by January that could easily change, but for the "November folk" like you, it should be fine.

LeAnn,
Good to know and I thank you for the heads up.
We’ll be on island mid April and will maybe give it another go. We never had parking issues because like you, we are usually early birds To the beach, and we learned a long time ago when there’s any possibility of parking issues, back into your parking spot if possible so you can drive out, usually w/o any issues.
Respectfully,
pat

If I were staying at Mary's Boon, might not need to go to the BEACH, but I sure as heck would walk over to Karakter for evening entertainment one night.
