Mullet Bay - Cupecoy

[GoBigRed]

Quick question about Cupecoy bay. I planned on going to Mullet Bay, and see from a map that Cupecoy is very nearby. Is a person able to walk between the two? If not, are taxis fairly available, or should I arrange in advance?

 

Thanks!!

It totally depends on which section of Cupecoy you're planning to visit.

 

Cupecoy is a LONG beach.

 

From Mullet to the beginning of Cupecoy, at Cliffhangers, for example, is maybe a 10 minutes walk.

 

To get to the far end of Cupecoy is probably another 20 minute walk.

 

Unless you take a cab and make arrangements to be picked up, I think that you'd have to walk back out to somewhere like Ocean Club or Sapphire and ask them to call for a cab for your return trip.

Thanks for the info!! That is a pretty easy walk by my standards. I am having difficulty finding any specific info on Cupecoy Bay. Can you explain the different sections that you refer to??

 

Thanks again!!

What 'specific' information are you looking for?

 

 

Cupecoy is a very long beach, stretching from Mullet Bay Beach to Long Baie. It is known for the many private and not-so-private coves that are carved into the sandstone cliffs along much of the length of the beach.

 

Parts of the beach are well known as clothing-optional or gay-friendly areas.

 

This beach may be the most 'tempermental' beach on the island, as the sand comes and goes very quickly in a reaction to the local weather, winds and tides.

 

Check the Resort Consultants page for some (old) pictures.
