didn't know which thread to ask this question but when I was there in early May there was working beginning on the south side, next to the Luna Encantada Condos...was told at that time that they were to be building a new beach bar/restaurant. Can anybody confirm or deny this? Thanks.

[Dan in Ct]

They were working on it last week. Slow process. Hopefully for those staying at Luna that is only a day and early eve club and not like The Blue Parrot. This past sunday morning their music was still blasting at 4:30 am.
I think there may be restiction on new club opennings on the beach.

Thanks for the update Dan. So it's going to be a dance club? or you aren't sure what exactly?
