What to do for couple in mid fifties?

Recommended Posts

We are a couple in our mid fifties. Not sure what to do. Never snorkled. Swimming with stingrays all around me sounds to icky. Did a tour of the area once. We hated the tour. Maybe a nice quite beach? Not sure about turtle farm? We have Sea World hear in Orlando to go to.

Just hop on the bus to 7 mile beach....the entire thing is public.....easy, and cheap (as far as that goes in GC!!!)...all public access points have chair/umbrella rentals...watersport rentals, and restrooms.....there are restaurant/bars on the beaches, too..

 

I don't enjoy snorkeling, or stingrays, etc....either. A beach day is lovely. There is shopping right across from the tender dock, if shopping is your thing.

 

Oh...we're in our 50's too!

I'm in my mid sixties and not in as good a shape as I used to be. I've been to most of the attractions there and don't want to go back to them. I've been thinking about doing the submarine tour as it isn't too physical and has gotten good reviews.

I have vacationed in GC 4times now and the first was a visit off a cruise ship.

Even though husband and I love to snorkel there are many other areas you can visit.

 

I too thought of swimming with the stingrays was not something I wanted to do but eventually did .

 

I don't know how long you have in port but getting a car and driving North to Rum point and stopping at the brewery and the Queen Elizabeth botanical gardens is very nice too and on the way Pedro St. James historic site

Smith Cove would be a nice quiet beach to relax and swim and even try snorkeling , facilities have bathroom & showers

 

The turtle farm is in the opposite direction and quite small but the dolphin discovery center across the way is good .

We decided to go on adventure. I booked Moby Dick Tours. This will be an experience swimming with stingrays. Everyone says its fun. I must get out of my shell and try something scary at least once in a lifetime. To mark off on my bucket list!
