Thank you so much for all the info and pics! We will definitely try to make it there in 12 days!!

I agree. There are wonderful places to go nearby. Don't just sit in port - go out and do something. The beaches in Freeport are beautiful.

$25 round trip or each way?

I can’t wait to go there

I want to book a cruise that stops in Freeport just to go here!

Hi! A couple of people in our group want to snorkel. Would Banana Bay be a good place for this?

I guess if you go out far enough. I did not see any coral in the area I walked, there was some sea grass and fish were swimming in it. They were not concerned with us

Freeport gets a bad rap because people are afraid to go any where but port lucaya. Venture farther down the road. We just went to banana bay and it was pure bliss. A mile of beach with maybe 10 people on it and a great restaurant. Sand is super soft and if the tide is out get ready to find sand dollars. As soon as I figure out how to post photos I will prove it. The whole day including meal for 3, plenty of drinks and the best conch fritters I have ever had for under $130. The only people we ran into were the European locals that live on the island. It totally reminded me of cruising 20 years ago before the ports got packed, with mega ships

 

 

Wow your description sounds amazing and right up my families alley. That being said we arrive in Freeport at around 7 am and leave at 1:30. I would be up for taking the family over to the Bananna Bay but my problem is that the restaraunt does not open until noon. By that time we will be heading back towards the ship. Any ideas or opinions about my situation? Thanks in advance, any and all information is welcomed.

 

We also would love to visit Banana Bay on our port day in Freeport, however our itinerary is also 7am - 1:30. Is it possible to explore the beach in the AM until the restaurant opens?

Yes there is a walkway on the side of the building
