According to one advocacy group’s calculations, less than 1% of Jamaica’s coastline is accessible to the public. Increasingly, everyday Jamaicans are being blocked from their beaches by all-inclusive resorts and hotels. Many of them relied on those beaches for their livelihood, so now some of them are suing companies and government agencies to get that access back.

      Could you imagine? Disgusting. I’ve always had aesthetic reasons for avoiding those types of vacations. Never realized it was such a moral issue.
