miss_rach Posted September 11, 2013 #1 Share Posted September 11, 2013 All, Going to be spending the day at both Islands during our up coming Carnival Cruise. Looking for recommendations on locations where we can beach snorkel and has a place to eat/drink (for the wives, since they don't snorkel) Thanx for all recommendations! Cheers!

Sauer-kraut Posted September 11, 2013 #3 Share Posted September 11, 2013 On Grand Turk, just keep walking to the LEFT (through Margaritaville) and you'll come to a place on the beach called Jack's Shack. Place for the wives to hang out and great snorkeling right off the beach. Lovely clear blue water and fine sand. Its about 1/2 mile from the dockyard.

miss_rach Posted September 11, 2013 Author #4 Share Posted September 11, 2013 I've been reading about something in Grand Turk called "The Wall". can we get to it from the beach? All of those with me are expert swimmers (if that matters). If not how about a few cheap boat charter/rental folks names that will take us for an hour or 2. Don't want to make it an all day event since wives want to do other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sauer-kraut Posted September 12, 2013 #5 Share Posted September 12, 2013 I would post this question over on the Grand Turk Port of Call board, you will get tour operators names there too. More specific to what you want to know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't want to make it an all day event since wives want to do other things. I will be in GT Oct 3. We booked a 2hr snorkel excursion to the wall through Crystal Seas. They have been very easy to work with and if you sail after this, I will let you know how the snorkeling is. They leave right off the beach between Margaritaville and Jack Shack, which makes it very easy. The catch to this is, they have a min of 4 max 10 for this excursion.

CruiserBruce Posted September 12, 2013 #8 Share Posted September 12, 2013 If you do some research on the appropriate boards, you will find the Wall on Grand Turk is excellent, and not accessible from the beach without a very serious swim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare mitsugirly Posted September 13, 2013 #9 Share Posted September 13, 2013 For St Thomas, I recommend Sapphire Beach. The place is gorgeous and the snorkleing is right there from the shore. There's a sandy area for swimming and the rocks and coral are right there too. It's great for the ladies in the family as well if they don't snorkel, they can still see stuff from being right there in the water. I have a link to my review from that day there and there's also tons of pictures as well. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
