THOSE who were looking forward to visit the Manzanilla Beach Facility and the La Vigie Paramin Lookout this long weekend may be disappointed as they are closed for maintenance works.
The Ministry of Tourism, Culture and the Arts in a public release on Thursday said that the Manzanilla Beach Facility will be closed until further notice to facilitate “continued remedial works being done at the facility.”
The ministry stated, “Be reminded that lifeguards will not be on duty at this beach during the period of closure.”
The public is encouraged to instead visit the beach facilities at Maracas Bay, Las Cuevas and Vessigny that fall under the ministry’s purview.
The La Vigie Paramin Lookout will be closed from April 14 to April 28 to facilitate works by the Water and Sewage Authority (WASA) along the Fond Pois Doux Road aimed at supplying water to the lookout and the neighbouring community.
The ministry further stated, “With these works underway, the accumulation of dirt and debris will pose a health and safety risk for persons who attempt to travel along the roadway. The general public is therefore advised to refrain from this area during this period of closure.”
The Tourism Ministry also apologised for any inconvenience caused.
