However, in recent times, the beaches are overcrowded as shacks and beach beds have been put up, leaving no room for the common man, who cannot afford to visit these shacks or sit on the beach beds but would want to sit on the sand with his family or enjoy a swim or just relax.
Baptist has pointed out how the Bogmalo Beach used to be a place where senior citizens would go for a summer bath and relax under the coconut trees. There is also the danger that if you turn around you may be accused of staring at “semi-nude” tourists as pointed out by Anita.
The Tourism Department must demarcate a portion of the beach for tourists and locals; plant some coconut trees and provide beach umbrellas made out of grass /palm leaves.
