Carib Beach Bar

[squirrel_patrol]

Hello! Just wondering if anyone knows how much it will cost in taxi fare to get to the Carib Beach Bar? Also what beach is it on or near? Thanks for the help!

Or better yet....can I take a bus?? Background on us: two women late 20's, spent all our money on the cruise itself (looking for the cheapest way to get there).

Carib beach bar has its own stretch of beach and is within close proximity of Accra/Rockley Beach (its actually the same stretch and if you were nit impeded by some structures you could walk from one to the other)

 

A bus ride is quite doable but the time you have in port is crucial. Depending on traffic it could get kind of dicey getting back to the ship on time.

 

Hope this helps you:)

Thanks.. very helpful! If we go there on the bus do you think we could find a taxi to take us back to the ship?

We get into port at 8am boat leaves at 5pm. We will probably get off the boat around 9am go to that beach, eat lunch at the carib at 11:30ish and then head back to the boat after lunch.

You should be able to make it..and quite easily.

 

I'd leave Carib no later than maybe 2:30 to 3 p.m. to allow for possible afternoon traffic backups around the Port area

but much depends on how many other cruise-ships are also in port, on Your Day..

get a handle on that factor, and you'll have some idea how crowded things might be

on the roads, in the shops and restaurants generally.

 

 

Carib Beach Bar is on Worthing Beach, getting up close to the St.Lawrence Gap(nightclub) area.

 

 

Yes, buses go that way.

Pretty much any bus that does the South Coast Main Road (Hiway 7) will pass right by there.

If the conductor or the local passengers don't know where Carib is

ask to be let off the bus 50 yds. before you get to the (now-mothballed) Graeme Hall Nature Sanctuary.

 

Carib is on the beach side of the road: Graeme Hall's on the land side

except they're staggered by about 50-100 yds. up/down the coast..

Not impossible at Carib

 

but even if you don't, just get yourself back out onto the South Coast Main Road

ascertain which direction is Town-bound (ask someone,or consult a bus-stop sign)

and transport will be along very shortly: it's a busy route!! ;)

 

Catch a mini-bus(white with a maroon stripe around it...ZR license-plate)

and enjoy some "local flavour"

 

--or one of the big blue Gov't busses..blue with yellow trim, colour scheme like this shuttle bus at the Port

-run by the same Governmental entity.

 

Just make sure the big blue Government bus ISN'T what we call the By-pass bus

because that By-pass bus circumnavigates Bridgetown,to go North to Speightstown!

 

All other buses, including the white & maroon ZR buses

head straight into Bridgetown.

 

Don't be afraid to ask people to point out this or that, OK?
