Maybe the mini pier could get a little dress up, a new coat of paint etc to make it a little more a ttractive while everyone waits for the new pier to be completed? I would volunteer to paint a bit in about two weeks if I know who to talk to.

I was on that pier twice in August. If you paint it, the weight of the paint might send it to the bottom.

Whaddaya mean? It IS dressed up! You should've seen it before the old pier was declared unsafe four years ago. Here it is when it was all spruced up the first time four years ago. You can hardly tell the difference from now. Before THAT it didn't even have railings.

Goodness that looks terrible!
I agree with Casa Juan.
Fresh paint with some simple murals would be nice and easily done.

Paint won't get rid of the vagrants who sleep there or the drunks who piss there. Most tourists get picked up from the beach while the pier is under construction. This little pier is never going to be a place where you "civilized" folks will want to go. Sorry. But that's the truth. Paint or not. It will always smell like urine and the entire thing will soon be falling into the ocean. That's just the way it is.

The sea turtles are still arriving to deposit their eggs, and the Marinos are patrolling the beaches to move them to a special pen where they can hopefully incubate safely until they hatch and are released.

The mini-pier behind the offices of the Capitanía del Puerto are filling in for charter fishing trips while the municipal pier is being rebuilt.
