Beach erosion outside Lighthouse Cay cabanas

[Andrew C]

Wonder what caused this. There haven’t been any big tropical systems. Surely Invest 93 didn’t cause this? Can’t imagine what a hurricane would do.

Glad it hasn’t impacted the main beaches as we will be there in a couple weeks.

Water ya genius!

That’s good. I just wanted to make sure nobody that’s unfamiliar with Lookout Cay was confused. Your post seemed to indicate that Mabrika Cove was the main family beach.

The vast majority of guests to Lookout Cay do not have cabanas and won’t be impacted by this at all.

Why did they put the cabanas here rather than the main family beach? Just a matter of space/access?

There are cabanas at both.

This. And the original site plan and current future expansion plan included a south family beach adjacent to Mabrika Cove.

Not much else to say.

I would hope those cabanas aren’t rented out at the present time due to safety concerns.

I would not want kids in the water. The current would bash them into the rocks.
