Over the last 10 days there has been a noticeable increase in tourists and 'activity' related insofar as I can see between town and a mile or two along the west end. When I walked to town 2 days ago it was very apparent to me, like WoW! and I have been hearing more evening activity as well, and more winter neighbors are around.
I have no idea what the beach/road activity is like, I haven't been there in a few weeks. (yes Ras, I will try!)
