If you find yourself at this disappointing location thinking you can grab a drink at the bar and dip your toes in the water, think again. Despite the large sign at the entrance welcoming you to enjoy the beach and use the bar, the security guard will stop you and demand $100 USD to step onto that government-owned beach. If you refuse, you will be harassed by a security guard named Olvon, who will intimidate you until you either leave or pay. After speaking with others, we have even heard of physical altercations with the guards for simply sitting on the beach. I recommend heading around the corner to a little place called Tenuta in Chatham Bay. The staff there are very nice, the view is better, there are no security guards to harass you, and it doesn’t cost you $100 just to go to a bar and buy more drinks.
在一次帆船旅行中,试图在海滩酒吧喝点东西。在岛上走时看到一个标志,上面写着这是一个私人岛屿,但你可以自由访问餐厅、酒吧和精品店,但不要越过任何标示“仅限酒店客人”的标志。到了酒吧,工作人员告诉我们必须支付100美元才能“获得进入权”并喝上一杯。我们显然拒绝了。调酒师告诉我们可以划小艇过去,然后沿着沙滩走(距离高潮线66英尺的地方是公共的)。保安奥尔文过来告诉我们不能在沙滩上走而不支付100美元,这并不是法律。这个地方是一个彻头彻尾的骗局。不要去。
