Beach and/or pool in Falmouth

[MWD]

Hello, hubby and I need ideas on what beach and/or pool to go to in Falmouth in October. Looking at Blue Waters Beach Club, Red Stripe, or the pool at Margaritaville. Need chairs, umbrella, and American fare food. We do not drink alcohol. Went to Doctor Cave's last time. It was ok. Too far from ship. Not opposed to paying for anyplace that is really nice. Just don't want to ride too far to get there. Suggestions? Appreciate your help!

Don't bother with Blue Waters beach Club. I was very disappointed in March. The beach was roped off due to the amount of Sea Grass and you couldn't go out far enough to swim properly. They had only cleared the Grass to about 15 yards from the beach.

We are going to Falmouth in Oct on Allure. Decided to give Red Stripe a try. $29 pp for the bus and it comes/goes so you can stay as long as you want.

 

We love Doctor's Cave, but I agree, way to long of a ride from Falmouth. Nice if you dock in MoBay, but not Falmouth.

 

So going to try Red Stripe and see what happens. Hopefully it will be fine. Here are some reviews from Trip Advisor. Sounds good, so I am happy to try a new place we have never been to!

No Hassle Beach

If you want a beach without the hassle, this is the beach for you. Bus ride is only 10 minutes from port ( the $ 30 a person is a little steep if travelling with family ) and it runs every hour. The beach is private and the workers are great. Beach chairs are only $ 5 ( it was $ 20 for an umbrella on Labadee ) . Food was okay, beer was cold.

There are some "vendors" at the far end of the beach but they are not allowed to come onto the private part of the beach. You are more than welcome to go visit them but they don't come to you. If you want a relaxing no hassle Jamaican Beach, this is it

Nice beach to relax at

Family was here on Liberty of the Seas. We had done a lot on our excursions the prior two days while at Cozumel and Grand Cayman and wanted just to relax a little, while in Jamaica. It is a private beach where only Royal Carribean cruise passengers can enter. It is gated so there are no locals there harassing you to buy something. It is a small beach but there is enough room for everybody to spread out and not seem too crowded. Beach is also very clean. The service was good but the food is not the best. But at least you can say that you tried Jerk Chicken.

Second visit as good as the first!

We cruised to Jamaica in January and took this excursion. We knew we were going with family in June and wanted to check it out. Once inside the gate, it seemed a little sketchy. Once we arrived at the beach, we rented beach chairs. The attendants offer services, but are not pushy. We spent a wonderful quiet day in the beach. Restrooms were clean, bar service was great, and the beach was wonderful.

Hidden Gem. Jamaica, no problem

When ever your cruise ship takes you to Flymouth, Jamaica, JUST GO to Red Stripe Beach. The best services, very quiet, white sand, emerald waters and about 1/2 mile of nature walk across the beach. Must visit.

Nice small beach

Great place to relax very clean staff was great DJ was the best!! A little small but worth it water and views was amazing. Close bathrooms and buses every hour. There local beer was pretty good. Don't let the construction at the entrance scare you away for us seemed very sketchy at first but worth the drive.
