Wonders10 Posted January 30, 2010 #1 Share Posted January 30, 2010 Hi everyone, Thinking of just doing our own thing, and taking the water taxi into "town" to swim and sun at Great Bay, then have lunch and do some shopping. Do we have to pay for the beach chairs to get one? Anyone know how much? If no chairs are available for some reason, can we just lay out on a towel? Thanks! *Shannon P.S. Anyone hear any recent news on the "dirty" sewer water in Great Bay? It looks so pretty, and on a warm day I will really want to go in! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milokitty Posted January 31, 2010 #2 Share Posted January 31, 2010 We were at Great Bay Beach last week (and now it's 10 degrees out and snowing ). We got chairs in front of the Holland House Hotel. It was $15 for 2 chairs, and umbrella, and either a bucket of beers (5) or 2 cocktails for the day. We were the only ship in port, so it was no problem getting chairs, even at 1pm when we finally got there. Also, no sewer problem that I was aware of.

Was it gradual or was there a steep decline? Thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never actually been in the water, but in my research, someone posted that it is a rather sudden drop off into the deeper water, but not sure how far out it goes before that happens. Or if the entire stretch of beach is that way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milokitty Posted February 1, 2010 #5 Share Posted February 1, 2010 There is a sudden drop. When the water is about to your knees-thighs, it drops about a foot or so to your waist. You aren't suddenly in over your head--it might be an issue for smaller children though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

milokitty Posted February 3, 2010 #7 Share Posted February 3, 2010 It's not like there's a change in water color because of the change in depth. You can feel it going down if you are looking for it, but if you don't know it's there, it could be a surprise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
