Forget Woodward and Bernstien cos the access from The Nympha to the promenade looks much easier this season.

As some of you know the side gate from this hotel has been closed for a good few years and meant a very long walk round to the main gate and down the street till you get back to where you started. But, this year after pressure from the local residents CLAIMING THEIR RIGHTS to an open beach the Riviera Bods HAVE ALLOWED the smaller gate in the ajacent causway's chain-link fence to be open to all...it closes at 11pm though.

Although this means crowds walking on the beach, a less quieter (and less secure cos some do walk through the terraced bar area going back...?) a quiker route for residents into the main shopping area is a true bonus.

Much prefer a proper guard on the hotels big gate though...still, compromise wins.
