Your classic seaside town, Bluewater Village lures you in with its beach and swallows you whole in its independent tea rooms, arcades, old fashioned sweet stores, gift shops, clubs, and an ever growing variety of other shops. Most people who actually live in town own their own business, or live above it. It isn’t the kind of town you commute out of, not when there’s only one road (country lane) out of town that’s already choking with traffic. 

 

 

Like most seaside towns it has an extremely popular railway connection. The bridge just past Bluewater Village’s railway station, passing close to the sheer cliff-face with a view of the water and lighthouse, was voted one of Sim Nation’s most beautiful bridges in Build Mode Monthly. 

 

 

However, beneath the veneer of tourism, Bluewater Village has a muddy history. The numerous sharp rocks standing vigil over the beach, as well as the intimidating cliffs, meant it was never going to be suitable as a large port. For some smaller vessels, however, with an experienced crew who knew the water and the seas like the back of their hands, who were accustomed to sudden maneuvers… it was a haven. The pirate ships alone could navigate in and out of the bay with ease. Though today it tries to hide its history beneath ice-cream parlors, everybody knows Bluewater Village used to be a hub for pirates. Though Bluewater is remembered today for the work of the Landgraab family and its rich community of independent businesses, local legends insist that pirates still lurk in the caves around the cliffs. Or, if not pirates, then surely their ghosts. 

 

 

Pirate activity, thought to be on the decline, has spiked again recently. Belladonna Cove, always quick to undermine the hub of independent, family-run businesses and promote big chains (Or so Bluewater locals say…) has been pointing the blame at the town. Bluewater Village finds itself caught between its past and its present of legitimate business.
