Water Island Help Needed

[Boatingmom]

Can somebody pleas compare the beach of Water island to Coki Beach?

We will be docked at Crown Bay. I think a St John's excursion may be too much effort. Considering Water Island. Opinions??

Both are small and can get crowded. Water Island less loud music. Coki better snorkeling. No chair rentals at Water Island, but there are plenty of picnic tables. Both beaches have natural shade. You have to walk to beach from Water Island ferry dock or rent golf cart.

Golf cart? What are the prices and what else is there to see on water island

[Ms411]

The beach is about 1/2 mile from the dock. Golf carts rent for approx $35. The only other way to get there is to walk, and you have to walk up a hill both ways.

 

You can also get to Honeymoon Beach on Water Island on some of the boating excursions.

 

The views are gorgeous if you ride around the island on the paved roads.

Ms411: There are now chair rentals at the far end of the beach. Also loud music. :(

You might want to check to see how many ships are in the day you're in port. If there are only a couple, Water Island might be a good bet. If there are 5 or 6, it might be too busy. Gone are the days where Water Island was virtually unknown...glad I got to visit before it was fully discovered!

Honeymoon Beach is sounding more like Coki Beach now!
