Late yesterday, beach project engineers and government officials informed us that the beach in front of Phase II at The Royal Sands will reopen on December 23, not December 21 as we were originally told. It will take several more days for the beach in front of Phase I to reopen due to the continued presence of the dredging pipeline and the passage of heavy vehicles. In the interests of safety, project coordinators stipulate that the stretch of shoreline where work is underway must always be cordoned off. We apologize in advance for any inconvenience that this may cause.
