A GROUP OF BEACH USERS is challenging the Boatyard Beach Club to show its title deed to the actual beach after they were barred from mingling because one of them was not wearing the bar’s wristbands.
The latest row involving the Boatyard Beach Club, following an earlier one with water sports operators, stems from an incident in which a resident claimed that it was so ridiculous that she was blocked from talking with her husband who was wearing a wristband while she was not.
The woman, an entrepreneur and realtor, said that her husband and a friend paid the $40 fee for the facility while she met them much later in the evening with her towel and sat on the beach between the chairs.
“ . . . I went along the public beach to avoid using the Boatyard entrance and, out of respect for them, I did not use the chairs,” the non-paying friend said.
But after a while a man who identified himself as a staff member came and told those with the wristbands that they should not be fraternising with the public.
