Encuentro Beach, Cabarete: Small businesses evicted, beach open to public
Backed by a Supreme Court of Justice ruling, government authorities closed small business stands from Encuentro Beach, to the west of Cabarete Beach in Puerto Plata. The court order was in response to a petition filed by two companies: Inversiones Calpes SRL and Mesa Investment Limited.
In a paid advertisement in Diario Libre, Inversiones Cape manager Lance Lundberg states that Julio Cesar Monegro (Arismendy) for over more than a decade illegally occupied portions of their property and the public space (60 meters of the sanded beach line) and rented this space to small businesses.
The company says that the recovery of the property by its rightful owners “at no time will affect the free access and enjoyment of Encuentro Beach by the general public.” The company says that the same people that now allege the beach is being privatized were those who illegally rented the spaces, with the passive support of government authorities who turned a blind eye to the practice.
