des1rees Posted February 12, 2010 #1 Share Posted February 12, 2010 We are going there in Dec ( I know, I plan early :)) and we are looking for a quiet family friendly beach ( have 2 boys, 6 & 8) where the boys can play in the water and we can laze around - preferably where we can rent chairs and there is food nearby. Can someone recommend specific beaches we can look into? Thanks, D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, D 7 Mile Beach is what I always recommend however, If you are looking for somewhere a little less busy, Rum Point is also a good place to head to.

drew sailbum Posted February 15, 2010 #3 Share Posted February 15, 2010 At Rum Point you can do all of those things except rent chairs... chairs are free, on a first come, first served basis. The water at Rum Point is particularly kid-friendly. It stays quite shallow for a couple hundred feet off shore, almost to the end of the dock.

bookbabe Posted February 16, 2010 #4 Share Posted February 16, 2010 Seven Mile Beach is accessible by taxi ($4-6 per person each way) or public bus ($2.50 per person each way). The two sections that likely have what you're looking for are Sea Grape and Royal Palms. Rum Point is also very nice, but as it's a 45 minute drive from the port area, you'll need to either take an excursion that stops there (via the ship or privately booked) or you'll need to rent a car. It's about an $80 taxi ride each way, and there aren't any taxis in the area so you'd have to prearrange the return trip. Just do a search in this forum for any of those beach names and you'll get literally hundreds of threads with info, pics, reviews, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
