Ate at La Plage today. A week or so ago there was very little beach, but you could still sit at the bar and stay dry. Today you can't get to the restaurant by the pedx path you need to go via the hotel and the bar is awash. The waves are breaking against the wall of Bleu Outre Mer next door.

Re: BEACHES CLOSED IN ST. BARTHELEMY DUE TO EROSION
JEK is absolutely correct. At the current rate of erosion, the runway will be only half its current length by the end of next week, and most of the island's hotels will be submerged. Flights and reservations must be changed for other islands while there is still time! Trust me on this.

Well, I am renting in the hills, per usual. I can helicopter in and keep to the restaurants with the higher locations. And Vitet is, bien sur, a lovely beach.

Mike R Tell us more about the Sushi at Nikki Beach my fiance and I are big sushi fans, is this the place to go, and where else can we find some excellent sushi, also we have our sxm to sbh flight booked with Winair should we cancel this or should we just go with the flow, and keep it booked. All this talk is making me wonder what the heck to do.
