Can someone tell me please (in anticipation of a return trip in August) whether or not Tui's Guest House is affected by all of this?? Thanks!

I have no idea, but it should be easy enough to find out. Here's his web site:

Just past Laongs Restaurant driving south on new 2nd Rd. Look to the right, the large plot runs from 2nd Rd to Beach Rd.

Hopefully most of the major work will be done by then but could depend on the weather. The construction hours are 8-5. The beach vendors told me that they do not have to close.

Can they tell us why this is even being done? I'm still trying to figure out what the purpose is.

The beach is now a construction zone, for safety reasons the beach could have been closed, but the beach vendors will remain open and the trees on their plots will remain untouched (so they say). It will be difficult to find a place to do a massage (other than the chairs). I have a friend who comes in July, spends everyday at the beach, gets at least one massage and hopefully he will not be disappointed.

First they scrunched up the chairs, then at least for a while the kept vendors away, now they're turning a reasonably comfortable walking path into a road. They're trying hard to make the beach an undesirable place to go? I wonder why?

You quoted my post, but you didn't address my question: Can the beach vendors, or anybody, tell us why this construction is even being done?
