Dear Editor,
Much has been made of the renaissance in upscale tourism in Port Antonio. However, little has been mentioned about the closure of the Titchfield Beach, which has severely impacted local guest houses and deprived residents of their birthright.
The Port Authority/marina management says that NEPA has shut them down, yet local NEPA officals counter that by saying that they have no right to close this beach.
In the meantime, the local chamber's newsletter claims that the local health department requires four lifeguards on this tiny beach.
John Maxwell must be squirming in his grave, as the bureaucrats have succeeded in taking away another beach from the people of Jamaica.
