JerseyshoreBruce Posted August 13, 2013 #1 Share Posted August 13, 2013 Im seeing a few cruise reviews that this beach is dirty......cigarette butts and paper cups ect..... floating in the water and on the bottom. Has anybody else had this experience as this is the beach I was planning to go to. Any other beaches you can suggest that are nice.....must have food, bar, beach chairs , restrooms and some shade! Won't be getting into port till 2pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MommaBear55 Posted August 24, 2013 #3 Share Posted August 24, 2013 DH and I really enjoyed the beach right across from the Seaquarium. We experienced none of the problems you heard about and we loved the snorkeling. It was pretty intense snorkeling for strong swimmers only. We look forward to doing this again in January.

Isa65 Posted August 25, 2013 #6 Share Posted August 25, 2013 This is one long stretch of beach. It starts at Cabana Beach resort (Cabana beach, formerly known as Kontiki Beach), when you keep walking it turns into Mambo Beach then Seaquarium Beach (behind the Lions Dive Hotel and next to the Curacao Seaquarium). There are 3 entrances, you can tell the taxi to drop you of at any of the three. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you recommend one entrance over another? Traveling with 2 children, ages 9 and 5 if that makes any sort of a difference. And Beer close by is important for DH and I:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I cannot comment on the swim conditions at the other beaches, sorry! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mamaofami Posted December 18, 2013 #12 Share Posted December 18, 2013 We went to Mambo beach several years ago and it was lovely. Changing rooms, food, umbrellas, and beach chairs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Papillon Posted January 6, 2014 #13 Share Posted January 6, 2014 We went to Mambo beach several years ago and it was lovely. Changing rooms, food, umbrellas, and beach chairs. Is there a collective bus that stops by the Mega Pier to go to Mambo beach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Isa65 Posted January 6, 2014 #14 Share Posted January 6, 2014 No, you need to cross the pontoon bridge to catch the public bus going to Seaquarium beach. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
