It never was very much and is directly north of the wall. It wasn't a natural beach but did have some sand. At some point they will probably truck some in.
It was mostly some palapas which take almost nothing to rebuild.
But it really doesn't matter. The snorkeling was good as was the beer and was cheap cheap cheap. A favorite with crew members of the cruise ships.
The iron shore made for lots of tidal pools where you could discover all kinds of critters.
When the owner of Chac-Chi wouldn't sell out to the port developers, they built the wall trying to drive them out of business, but that plan failed. People would just use a little ingenuity to gain access:
The land is worth a fortune and they wouldn't let something like a hurricane force them to relocate
There is somewhat of a cult culture that has embraced that "rebel" and we will continue to support.
Even in its "prime" it wasn't always open when cruise ships were in port. Open or closed, I'll check it out and post pictures of whatever is there for the Chac-Chi fan club.
