RCLFan Posted July 29, 2005 #1 Share Posted July 29, 2005 We've been to Labadee and love the secluded and private beach like feel it offers. The Eastern route (MOS) we will be on doesn't include Labadee or Coco Cay. Can that feeling be replicated on the beaches of St. Thomas/St. John, St. Maarten, and/or Nassau? Which beaches would you recommend? Are there any specific beaches that would offer water sports, i.e. wave-runners, kayaks, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
39august Posted July 29, 2005 #2 Share Posted July 29, 2005 I advise you to go the Ports of Call board and look at each of these islands for beach info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wallie5446 Posted July 29, 2005 #3 Share Posted July 29, 2005 Or the http://www.cruisecritic.com/ports/index.cfm Destinations area. But none of the beaches will have that 'private' feel like CoCo, unless you book a day at a local Hotel that offers these things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they have an island that you can go to at their resort. And I'm sure their beaches are very nice and not overcrowded. You get all the same amenities that their paying guests get, including food and all drinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's another beach in Nassau that isn't secluded that we went to in March of this year. It was at the British Colonial Hilton within walking distance from the ship. It cost $15 each to use their beach and pool. And they have food and drink servers on the beach and at the pool. They have a live band at the pool in the afternoon that is very good as well. There towels and lounge chairs & tables on the beach. They also have kayaks. You can see the cruise ships from the beach. But it's still a very nice, convenient beach. They also serve some yummy conch fritters at their outdoor restuarant. We ordered it from the servers and ate it right on the beach while lounging. If you're interested, give me your email address and I can email you some good pictures of the place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexis Posted July 30, 2005 #6 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Here is a site that I posted for my last cruise Roll Call for people also looking for the best beaches. They seemed to think it was a good one. http://www.cruiseprofessionals.com/Destination360s.html When the site opens, click on the area you will be cruising and then the islands. You will be able to see all the ports and beaches. I hope it helps you. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maggieq Posted July 30, 2005 #7 Share Posted July 30, 2005 Try the divi little bay beach resort. We tried it in April and it was great. It was a great beach, not too crowded. They include lunch and two drink tickets and also offer waverunners, etc. Only problem, we could have stayed there all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
