I recently visited the private beach at the Closed British Colonial. Just wanted to share my experience and some photos. Property managers are offering Day Passes to just the private beach not the resort like previous years.. Purchase online in advance as there are some blackout dates throughout the year that passes are not offered. Bring printed pass with you. Printed pass does tell you to check in at the Margaritaville Fins Up waterpark desk, it's about a 15 minute walk from the cruise pier area. When you come out of the cruise port area which is currently under construction, you should walk right towards the Straw Market, walk towards Senor Frogs, then turn left and follow sidewalk around the corner past McDonalds and follow Margaritaville signs to Fins Up Waterpark building towards the water. When I visited in November there was just one other couple there relaxing and enjoying the beach. My visit was directly after Tropical Storm/hurricane Nicole so some of the chairs/palapas were disheveled, and the boardwalk was being repaired. For $25.00 per adult it was a great price and exactly what I was looking for. No taxi needed, so no taxi fare, the beach was private, quiet, no vendors, use of towel, chairs, and clean restrooms. Do not expect any extras, no pool access, no beach side service, but the bar service was open to purchase drinks with a credit card. If you are looking for an inexpensive quiet beach day away from crowds this really is a good value.
