You can see the outside of Atlantis from where the ship docks with no problems...it is HUGE! You won't be able to see anything close like the property or anything like that. If I were looking for a free beach I would go over to Cabbage Beach...I have never been to Junkanoo but heard there is a lot of broken glass and not the best beach ever...Cabbage beach is nice...or a lot of the hotels there do day passes that you can use the beaches, pools, loungers, restrooms, I think some are only like $25 per person...no charge at cabbage beach but not sure if there are any restrooms and I know you have to pay to use a lounger or umbrella or anything like that...
