Thank you for all the hard work and dedication that all have put forth to reopening the island. May I address one area that is of great importance, and needs to be reopened? I am referring to Rum Point, or as I like to refer to it, “The Family Beach”.
Rum Point is so ‘user-friendly’ to families. Shaded beach chairs, where mothers can feed their babies while keeping a mindful eye on their little ones playing in the shallow water. Calm waters, without a sudden drop-off, or current that can suddenly take your child out of sight.
If providing food is the issue, why not temporarily have some food trucks where people can buy some refreshments? This week we were saddened to see the disappointment on the tourists’, and their children’s, faces, when they announced they were headed to Rum Point, and we told them it is not open yet.
I know my family that is arriving on New Year’s Day, too will be very sad over this closure. I have already informed my grandchildren. However, as children, they have a great hope, and therefore are thinking that it is opening for a Happy New Year. Thank you all for what you have done for our lovely island, but those of you that are the ones in charge, please let’s open Rum Point.
