pghsteelerfan Posted October 4, 2017 #2 Share Posted October 4, 2017 Hi Has anyone had a taxi from the port to Cockleshell beach? I have read a wide range of prices from $7 to $28! Many thanks Yes, we've done it. The total charge for the taxi is $28 to Cockleshell, but if there are four or more people sharing a cab, then you're only charged $7. When we went to Cockleshell, we were directed to a taxi/van and had to wait until it was full, so we were quoted the $7 each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Racing4acruise Posted October 31, 2017 #3 Share Posted October 31, 2017 My wife and I were in St Kitts on October 11, 2017 and took a taxi to Reggae Beach Bar and Grill. The taxi owner/driver was Charles Thomas. Very nice and will use him again when we return to St. Kitts. email is t_charlo@yahoo.com, PH# is 1 869 465 9326 cell 1 869 662 6239. the cost was 42.00 for round trip, due to being just my wife and I, so the more the cheaper.

Racing4acruise Posted October 31, 2017 #4 Share Posted October 31, 2017 One more thing, if going to Cockleshell Beach, wear water shoes for your comfort. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Attack Dog Posted January 7, 2018 #6 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Is Cockleshell a public beach? How much does it cost? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbear Posted January 7, 2018 #7 Share Posted January 7, 2018 Is Cockleshell a public beach? How much does it cost? It's a public beach, no charge with a bar there too. When we were there in late November they charge $5 pp if you want a lounge chair. Like the other person said bring water shoes. We brought our own snorkel gear as well.

paul58 Posted January 7, 2018 #8 Share Posted January 7, 2018 ALL beaches on St Kitts are public. The amenities there can cost ( lounge chairs etc). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Attack Dog Posted January 7, 2018 #9 Share Posted January 7, 2018 It doesn’t sound like it’s worth booking an excursion through the cruise line. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
volk904 Posted January 8, 2018 #10 Share Posted January 8, 2018 Seems like the $7-8 range was about right for a shared ride. It is a beautiful ride through the mountains. Sent from my iPad using Forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotsugar Posted January 30, 2018 #11 Share Posted January 30, 2018 One more thing, if going to Cockleshell Beach, wear water shoes for your comfort. Is Cockleshell Beach very rocky when you enter the water or is there just a lot f shells on the beach. We will be going there in March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lutonhoo Posted September 18, 2018 #12 Share Posted September 18, 2018 These taxi prices are for one way - is it easy to get a taxi back - or do they wait for you ?? Anyone with recent experience ? We were going to book the Cruise tour to take us there but it is $49 each to drop off at the beach and return ..Tour time 3.5hr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canadianbear Posted September 18, 2018 #13 Share Posted September 18, 2018 These taxi prices are for one way - is it easy to get a taxi back - or do they wait for you ?? Anyone with recent experience ? We were going to book the Cruise tour to take us there but it is $49 each to drop off at the beach and return ..Tour time 3.5hr We were there in December-we had a taxi van with about 7-8 people in it. Agreed on a time for the taxi to come back and pick us up. However one person left early and I think asked the bar to phone a taxi for her but not positive. Sorry can’t be more help. If you can find another couple to go with you and agree on when to come back the taxi will return. And the entry to beach was very rocky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
