Dear Prime Minister Davis.

I hereby formally request your due consideration to rename the “Colonial Beach” on the western end of Paradise Island to “Lighthouse Beach”. While others wish to perpetuate self-perceived entitlement of “Royalty” it would be a step backwards allowing this pristine Bahamian owed land to be called “Royal Beach”.

I believe that many Bahamians support the movement of wishing to move away from Colonial rule, and towards what the Bahamas truly aspires to be; free.

As you witnessed, first-hand, with Barbados moving away from the Royal Families’ oversight of their now self-governed, republic; The Bahamas stands to gain so much more in shaping our own destiny for the benefit of Bahamians.

Thank you.

Best wishes,

Capt. Toby Smith. Future Lighthouse Keeper, Paradise “Hog” Island Lighthouse.
