Please Pardon Our Dust (So To Speak)

We are updating a number of our pages from our old (Microsoft FrontPage) format to our new, database driven format. This will allow us to present you with more information in an organized fashion and also to keep pages updated on a more frequent basis. Over the next several months we hope to add additional features that will allow our visitors to comment on and rate the entries as an aid to other Beachview.com members who may be visiting the area for the first time.

We'll get the old data transferred promptly, get rid of the annoying duplication (and this annoying little message) and get on with adding new attractions.

As always, we invite you to use our comments page to let us know what you think are some of the best attractions for visitors to the area. And if you're interested in advertising your attraction, let us know. Our new format will allow us greater flexibility than in the past and we would certainly like to talk with you.
